I can’t believe you made me dine and dash in San Francisco and Got drunk at my dad’s and woke every one singing Mendocino Well your voice was all out of tune and my dad’s been sober since 2002 Well I’d thought I’d lost my wallet in Sausalito But maybe it was my mind telling me Mendocino Your dad makes me nervous it’s true Born-agains are always making me blue Let’s just buy bottle and take it slow, let’s just kick back ‘til our flight home Buddy, you just make me laugh, first you get us kicked out and now we’re out of cash And this motel gives me the creeps, how many beers are you gonna drink? I called your dad and he says we’re cool Drinking beer in bed used to be your thing, too There’s room in here for two, if I ain’t mistaken that’s me and you In this motel I ain’t gonna take off my clothes If we were at a place like the Fairmont, well then buddy who knows But that’s as far from the truth as me making it in this dump with you You used to say that we were like gold, now you just make me feel so old My brother said he’d wire us some cash We’ll skip the bed we’ll go out and have a blast I’ve never seen a real hippy it’s true and there’s thousands here with nothing to do Remember when we used to have a gas with just a bottle and a glass They used to call this the Golden State Let’s get out before it’s too late We used to call this the Golden State Let’s get out before it’s too late

I saw a prison bus and I thought of you I wished you were sitting in it shackled and dressed in blue You’re a grifter and grifters go down hard They end up in some alley after getting knifed in a bar You’re a flimflam gal who will always wear secondhand shoes Drive a borrowed car and will die with a purse full of I.O.U’s You’re the only woman that’s ever gotten to me You cut me so deep and now I can’t stop bleeding and My blood bleeds the darkest blue and My blood bleeds the darkest I saw a hearse today, it was shinny gold I wished you were in it and I could run it right off the road I’d set up a table with a bottle and rose And make a toast as it burned in the gully below You’re a confidence man and they’re the lowest of the low They cut your heart to pieces while grooving in you so slow And it feels so good you don’t ever want it to stop… And it feels so You’re the only man that’s ever gotten to me You cut me so deep and now I can’t stop bleeding and My blood bleeds the darkest blue and My blood bleeds the darkest You’re the only one that’s ever gotten to me You cut me so deep and now I can’t stop bleeding

about

“I've always wanted to sing duets with Willy, fighting has never been more fun!” says singer, Amy Boone.

The Lost Duets are the Delines on a desert vacation: mariachi influenced horns, pedal steel, and accordion are the back drop for the first ever Delines duets between lead singer, Amy Boone, and songwriter and guitarist Willy Vlautin. Welcome to the world of romance Delines style.

“We both love singing duets,” says guitarist and songwriter, Willy Vlautin. “I’ve written a few but so far they haven’t fit on any of our records. The wrong place at the wrong time sorta thing. The Golden State leans on our cowpunk roots but I brought it to the band when we had already drifted away from that sound. My Blood Bleeds The Darkest Blue has a real Lee Hazelwood/Morricone orchestrated desert feel to it but at the time we were working on The Sea Drift, songs set along the Gulf Coast, so that one didn’t fit either. But once we had The Sea Drift done we recorded the duets as a present to ourselves. Both are songs we really love but songs left orphaned along the way and we thought we better give them a proper home.”
