Martinez Songtext
von Melody Walker

I know all the roads by muscle memory
So I think too much when I′m at the wheel in Martinez
And at night the yellow lines ring like a melody
And I swear sometimes it swallows me, Martinez

And I can't keep from crashing
No, I can′t think to keep myself alive


Oh, I drive over Palmdale
And I see the lights of the refinery
With its stacks on high, Martinez
And the noise that no one notices is clearer now
That drumming hum that's always around, Martinez

And I can't keep on driving
I′ll fall asleep and wake up in another town

Oh, that train, it whistles slow but it′ll whistle loud
And let that lonesome sound echo all through town, Martinez
And at night I dream of catching him, drift afar
Just one in a chain of a thousand cars, Martinez

And I can't feel the ride
But then even the smoothest tracks collide
No, I can′t keep from crashing
No, I can't think to keep myself alive
