Santiago (Lyrics)
I got the night to think about you
Every morning for some more bad news
It ain't easy shakin you off of me baby
Right now

I found a lighter in my coat
Said on the bottom, "Adios"
I took a second and spun it around
And thought of you somehow, I remember now
Santiago 2022

Where we relied on Irish Paul
for direction thru the Spanish walls
No tellin' it apart from a daydream
Oh child

On the ancient steps outside
of a cathedral in the summer light
You kept tappin your heel on the ground
Such a modern sound, I can hear it now
Semi-hollow, but it's comin thru

Like passing tides

Under the light of the road I cross
In the city, I watch the shadows fall
Been meaning to forget about all the pain in
My heart

When we said our last goodbye
At the station, I never asked you why
I know you better than trying to explain
How in another life I could make you stay
How I oughtta, Like I wanna do

Now there's a dark moon rising
I let you walk away
No I don't wanna start crying
Emily what to say?

I was afraid of trying
Always a little too late
Coulda had you I'm reminded
Some kind of way everyday
Emily, what to say?

I got the night to think about you
Every morning for some more bad news
It ain't easy shakin you off of me baby
Right now

I found a lighter in my coat
Said on the bottom, "Adios"
I took a second and spun it around
And thought of you somehow, I remember now
Santiago 2022

When Tré Burt was signed to John Prine’s Oh Boy Records in 2019, he was one of only two artists - including label mate Kelsey Waldon, to join the label in the past 15 years. From his humble roots working menial day jobs; as a maintenance technician, servicing airplanes at SFO International, taping boxes as a UPS worker, Burt has been, and always will be, a working class musician. Burt’s third and most recent album on Oh Boy Records, Traffic Fiction, is an unexpected musical reinvention rooted in his new and idiosyncratic version of classic soul.
