It’s a short clip from one of his books, verse from a singer/songwriter. Texas Troubador, &c. Legend.

“Yeah, a ‘legend’ from Lubbock.”

Yeah, so?


Anyway, this moment’s lyric, from the verse titled, “One Fuse of Summer,” from the book, Bonfire of Roadmaps:

Visions of neon train howling thru Texas nite
A self–contained circus, hotel and bilboard
I’m wild with full moon Jesus
We mix howling snake blues tonight
