    Pressed on ultra clear vinyl and housed in a classic "tip-on" style jacket with poly-lined inner sleeves, these LPs are ready to hit the factory floor for 8 hours.

    All LPs are shipped Media Mail — prices reflect the ever-increasing creep of inflation as well as the cost of the ultra-sturdy oversized mailer necessitated by the tip-on jackets. Nevertheless, I'm still taking ~$1 hit on every order because I can't bring myself to charge more than $7 for domestic shipping. I'm a one-man operation and your order comes direct from me. Your patience, tolerance, and support are much appreciated!

lyrics

There’s 50 miles to New Orleans
50 miles to town
If you ain’t home, you don’t pick up the phone
I’m gonna turn this rig around
I got a place to be, and more than one place to go
You better believe I got a woman in every town I know

There’s 50 miles to Houston
That’s 50 miles from here
When I get in, no matter where I’ve been
I’m gonna wind up full of beer
I’ve been on Highway 10 from the day that I was born
I’ve been from Jacksonville all the way to California

I’ve seen the Mississippi Delta shining like an oil pan in June
But I’ll blow out 18 wheels before I ever spend the night in Baton Rouge
Just keep on driving right on through

I’ve been on Highway 10 from the day that I was born
Living on that long white line from Jacksonville to California

There’s 50 miles to El Paso
And just a couple more to your bed
When I get in, if there’s another man
He’s gonna wind up full of lead
Well it’s too late now to head on back to San Antone
You better believe, woman, I ain’t going to Mexico

There’s 50 miles to Phoenix
And I’m starting to feel the heat
When I get there, I’m gonna cut my hair
And get me something to eat
If I make it through the desert, I’ve got a little spot in Venice Beach
But if I hear the sirens, I’ll just turn around and head back east

I’ve been on Highway 10 — that’s the story of my life
That long white line is just a noose I haven’t tied
And I’m gonna ride it ’til I die
’Til the day I die
