about

Inspired by the movie "Don't Stop!"by Kenji Kohashi.

lyrics

Why did you fly to El Paso?
Because you can’t go by ship.
Why’d you throw your lot in with this crew?
‘Cause they were all I could get.

He came from Japan with dreams of dry land
In a white praire schooner that flew over the ocean
No sooner than he landed when he got upper-handed
And his dreams were put up on screen

Cap’s been livin’ a clichéd American dream
But it’s more of dream than most American’s seen

From the Cadillac Ranch to the Santa Monica Pier
It appears that our Captain’s been hijacked
In two Winnebagoes with family and crew in tow
It looks like he may never come back

He’s an old rock ‘n’ roller
A wheelchair-bound stoner
Who thinks that he’s doin’ his dream

Up on the hilltops of Monument Valley
The captain’s been left to fend for himself
John Ford would weep to see such a picture
Of a man abandoned for profit and greed

Why’d you fly to El Paso
Because I couldn’t walk
Why’d you let those guys speak for you
(Because I couldn’t talk)
