moving day .. got up early, really early

dragged kilo and frenchman out of bed

we had my grandmother eva and vernon

moved in well before noon .. lunch time

she was planting peppers and tomatos 

little travel trailer kilo, frenchman and I rented

was kind of in a wooded .. safe area in winnie

donald and the two ex-cons were still out there

i'm quite sure they were searching for me

I didn't hide yet I wasn't showing my face

i'd already planned to leave hellhole winnie, texas

wasn't about to watch over my shoulder every day

had to get frenchman and kilo set up before I left

hardest part was having to break it to alline

she cried and cried .. went on and on

reassured her i'll be ok and she will be too

she just couldn't hardly believe crazy donald

was out to get me for continuing to see her

she knew him personally her whole life

somehow .. finally she got the big picture

i'd parked my car behind our small house

didn't want all of my windows broken out

related to alline i'll be back to winnie asap

when .. if things will  ever cool down

she said please don't see dolly again

related to her I wouldn't .. i'll leave dolly alone

kissed, hugged .. was on the highway that night

driving in the midnight hour I was at a loss

realizing i'm running from a death threat 

after an attempted hit .. calmed me none

feeling as if i'd nothing to lose

fired up my sinsimilla filled pipe

had an iced down twelve pack of beer

drank a glass of four ounces shroom juice

man, I was set .. cranked up the f.m. radio

something told me I maybe should've waited

to drink the shroom juice .. I love a challenge

challenged .. because i'd gotten so lost

hallucinaing  .. tripping out of my mind 

eyes burning .. popped wide open

sunshine burning .. directly in my face

woke up on the gulf of mexico .. wondering how
