There's a tattoo heart
With an arrow through the middle
Of a name that looks like Joe
And a young girl's looking
At her makeup in the mirror
Puts a little gold ring on her toe

I gotta say one, two, three more things before I go on

There's a sharp dressed man
Playing something on a fiddle
In the backyard right next door
And everybody's mother
Is cooking something in the kitchen
Got dishes stacked ceiling to floor

I gotta say one, two, three more things before I go on

You can't run and try to hide away
Here it comes, here comes another day

A red rooster crows
A little Mexican tune
On the chain link fence by the gate
Somebody's daddy's out there
Honkin' on the horn
Hurry up, we're gonna make him late

I gotta say one, two, three more things before I go on

You can't run and try to hide away
Here it comes, here comes another day
If you're long down that highway
No matter where you are
You're never really far
Good morning Aztlán

There's a big fat heart
With an arrow through the middle
Of this place that I call home
And when I get lost
And don't even got a nickel
There's a piece of dirt I call my own

I gotta say one, two, three more things before I go on

You can't run and try to hide away
Here it comes, here comes another day
You can't run to try to hide away
Here it comes, here comes another day
Where you are, never really far away
Good morning Aztlán

Ha.Ha. Very. Funny.

Aztlán (from Nahuatl languages: Astlan, Nahuatl pronunciation: [ˈast͡ɬãːn̥] (listen)) is the ancestral home of the Aztec peoples. Astekah is the Nahuatl word for "people from Aztlan". Aztlan is mentioned in several ethnohistorical sources dating from the colonial period, and while they each cite varying lists of the different tribal groups who participated in the migration from Aztlan to central Mexico, the Mexica who went on to found Mexico-Tenochtitlan are mentioned in all of the accounts.

My favorite morning song.  Love when it pops up when I wake.  I'm not one to lay in bed when sleep ends but this song gets me up on my feet (and dancing  around) as fast as a Code 3 EMT call.

Particularly interesting given today's Populist movement.  
Aztlán (from Nahuatl languages: Aztlān, Nahuatl pronunciation: [ˈast͡ɬaːn] (

 is the ancestral home of the Aztec peoples. Aztecah
is the Nahuatl word for "people from Aztlan". Aztlan is mentioned in
several ethnohistorical sources dating from the colonial period, and
each of them give different lists of the different tribal groups who
participated in the migration from Aztlan to central Mexico, but the Mexica who went on to found Mexico-Tenochtitlan
are mentioned in all of the accounts. Historians have speculated about
the possible location of Aztlan and tend to place it either in
northwestern Mexico or the southwest US, although there are doubts about
whether the place is purely mythical or represents a historical
reality.[citation needed]

Thank you for what you do.  Glad we can support your efforts.  Wish everyone did...

They do tour.  I saw them in 2016, they toured in 2017, guess what, they're on tour right now.  You just seem better at complaining and making the same dumb posts over and over about Foo Fighters and Arcade Fire than you do about actually getting out and seeing live music.

Got to see and hear LL at a concert last Saturday—they were great! It's encouraging to experience a band celebrating their 40th year together that sounds as good now as in the day. They are amazing! Their "new" drummer is insanely great!

40 hours a week on RP — at, what, 12-15 songs an hour — and this is the ONLY song you dislike? Damn, quite baffling how you can be so indulgent or judicious on ~400 pieces of music (accounting for repeats) and it's just this one that elicts a 'yuck.' This is hyperbolic, or you have an unusually high tolerance for middle-of-the-roadness or good-but-not-exceptional that the fine rip rockin' Good Morning Aztlan cannot escape.
