A classic stoner track which doesn't get too much live playing anymore - Martin just ceased to like it.
lyrics
Ostracized, the burning sun
Marks you as the hunted one
Grains of sand between your teeth
In your throat, you just can’t breathe
Rushing through the desert land
Spurned and parched, with bloodstained hands
Time’s up, you’re only steps ahead
One more second rest and you’ll be dead
El Camino to the end
Straight to hell, no curves, no bends
El Camino, on the stray
Never thought it’d end this way
Wanted dead, not worth a dime
Hear the distant death bells chime
Thinking back to when it all began
To hell with it, who gives a fuckin’ damn
All that matters is how to escape
‘Cause the mob will never spare or save
See yourself ablaze and bled
Plunging in the burning red
El Camino to the end...
On your knees, you catch a glance
Of what might be your last chance
Weary legs, you won’t get far
Get into that rusted car
Hunters’ breath upon your neck
Grab the wheel and don’t look back
Throttle’s wide and off you go
Saved by Satan’s Stoner Flow
