Joe Rian – Amarillo

Bayangkan kamu sedang melaju kencang di jalan tol antarkota tengah malam, asbak dasbor mobil sudah luber puntung rokok, dan tiba-tiba ada sirine polisi menyala di kaca spion.

Joe Rian bersama komplotannya membawa kekacauan semacam itu lewat single terbaru berjudul “Amarillo”. Nuansa alt-country berpasir ini terdengar seperti perpaduan vokal berat ala Johnny Cash yang tersesat di tengah bebunyian gurun milik Calexico, lengkap dengan dengung organ Hammond tua yang konon pernah disentuh Brian Wilson.

Lagunya sendiri tidak bertele-tele saat menceritakan road trip gila penuh kepanikan bersama kawan lamanya:

“Ounce of mushrooms and a pound of weed

Four packs of Camels and a bottle of speed

Red light searching on a desert road

Oklahoma line, 20 miles to go”

Menelan habis sisa barang terlarang demi menghindari jeruji besi saat mobil dicegat di kecepatan 120 km per jam jelas bukan ide bijak, tapi Joe Rian menceritakannya dengan santai sembari menertawakan masa mudanya yang ugal-ugalan.

Trek ini cocok dinikmati sembari menatap aspal basah atau sekadar menemani obrolan larut malam di warung kopi terdekat. Mengingatkan kita bahwa ada beberapa kota di yang memang sebaiknya tidak usah kita kunjungi lagi.

Lirik Lagu Joe Rian – Amarillo

AMARILLO
Written by Peter Christie (ASCAP) / Admiral Ventures

Well I ain’t goin’ back to Amarillo anytime soon
Well I ain’t goin’ back to Amarillo anytime soon

Ounce of mushrooms and a pound of weed
Four packs of Camels and a bottle of speed
Red light searching on a desert road
Oklahoma line, 20 miles to go

Well I ain’t goin’ back to Amarillo anytime soon
Well I ain’t goin’ back to Amarillo anytime soon

Well the cops pulled over doing 95
I ate all the mushrooms, I was barely alive
They took my gun and they took my cash
They took my car and they took my stash
They left me trippin’ on a desert moon

Well I ain’t goin’ back to Amarillo anytime soon
Well I ain’t goin’ back to Amarillo anytime soon

Well I ain’t goin’ back to Martinsville
No I ain’t goin’ back to Davenport
No I ain’t goin’ back to Boulder
Well I ain’t goin’ back to Dixon
No I ain’t goin’ back to Bridgeport
No I ain’t goin’ back to Amarillo anytime soon
