Jason Dea West, " Twelve Mile Road," by Dave Stamey // GemsOnVHS™
Рет қаралды 33,350
Жыл бұрынIt has been a hot minute since we caught up with Jason Dea West. Our last outing saw us hopping freight trains east of the Mississippi with everyone's favorite tramp, Benjamin Tod. We were reliving glory days, tracing back the past. On this go around, our feet are firmly planted in the present, catching Jason on a long tour across the country where he plays his newest material for all of you. When one tours as hard and long as Jason does, you get a little tired of playing your own songs, and you get to pickin a few covers by folks you like.
That's what happened here, with Jason playing a little tune by the old cowboy picker Dave Stamey at a little truck stop diner combo in Lebanon, Tennessee. We'd stopped at this greasy spot to catch Jason on his interstate criss-crossing journey. This little hole in the wall, called Pete's, home to the largest collection of coffee mugs in the world. The owner, a Vietnam vet named Pete, decided to sit in and listen to our little song, even going so far as to mute the TV. Him and the rest of the dodgey old patrons loved it, so that's nice. Real music for the real folks out here.
Check out Jason’s newest EP, “Lost Camp Dreams,” at intuitivecompass.bandcamp.com/ as well as on all other streaming platforms. You can find him on Instagram at @jasondeawest.
Our undying love and gratitude go to our executive producers for making this project possible: Brad Sirois, Mitchell Davis, Keith McQuillan, David Jameson, Lisa Galvan, Irvin Maddox, Josh Collins, Brady Jones, Julie Nestoroff, VJ Arizpe.

I dont understand how this doesn't have more view. JDW, and gems are some of my favorite combinations of all time, better than chocolate peas and vanilla carrots.

The way he keeps looking that old man in the eye. It adds weight to this song that leaves a lump in my throat. That look is exactly what this song is about.

The crossover i didn't know I needed. Dave Stamey is from my area, and I love Jason. Glad he knows about Dave, both are seriously under appreciated artists.

This is great. His playing is so genuine, always a pleasure to listen to. Excited for his upcoming album! Chords and lyrics below and on Ultimate Guitar as always folks! Standard tuning, Capo on 5 The C is normally played like a C/G (332010), I noted a simple C for reasons of clarity Intro G C G x2 Verse 1,3,4 G C / G D / G G/F# Em / C G / G C / G D / G G/F# Em / C D G Verse 2 G C / G D / G G/F# Em / C D / G C / G D / G G/F# Em / C D G Chorus 1 D G / D Em / C G Em / G D G C G Chorus 2 & 3 D G / D Em / C G Em / C D G Interlude G C D G Outro C D G [Intro] [Verse 1] There’s an old gravel road It's following the section line Out where dreams are held together With sweat and baling twine Where you rattle your bones on a tractor Over thirty years old And there’s a mortgage and kids to be fed Out on Twelve Mile Road [Verse 2] Well, it's just a stretch of country The wind comes blowing through The Homesteaders starved out and blew away Ain't nobody out here but you And you know someday it’s gonna turn around But Lord, it turns so slow But it ain’t rained since April Out on Twelve Mile Road [Chorus] Out on Twelve Mile Road Lord it turns so slow Hanging on to a ragged dream Out on Twelve Mile Road [Verse 3] Now you raised some hay and a few head of cows You swing a hammer in town You do anything you can goddamn do To keep your feet on the ground Cause if a man works hard enough He can turn that straw into gold Or ain’t that the way it’s supposed to be Out on Twelve Mile Road? [Chorus] Out on Twelve Mile Road Lord it turns so slow Hanging on to a ragged dream Out on Twelve Mile Road [Interlude] [Verse 4] Now you dream of the day when the air is clean The fences all run true All of your worries just vanished like smoke And all the hard times are through You’ll look down from the top of the hill Your dreams are there to hold Or ain’t that the way that it’s supposed to be Out on Twelve Mile Road? [Chorus] Out on Twelve Mile Road Lord it turns so slow I've been hanging on to a ragged dream Out on Twelve Mile Road Out on Twelve Mile Road Lord it turns so slow Hanging on to a ragged dream Out on Twelve Mile Road [Outro]
