George Barker (RIP) and Joel Pirard wrote this semi autobiographical tale of leaving home for rock & roll and the sad encounter with a lonely hitchhiker
self reflection
Artist picture
The band WAS (RIP) guitarist George Barker, bassist Ray Lehner, Mike Gelbke on drums, Joel Pirard keys. Later Scott Pittman, (RIP) Bass.
JOEL PIRARD: I was in a band named ORION that broke up in 1981. George Barker was in a band called Topeka that broke up around the same time. We formed TOMBSTONE. I have adapted the stuff we wrote together and 2 he wrote in a TOPEKA and completed all the songs in a home studio. Some are simple, some are a bit more intense. Many speak to simple love and broken hearts. . So with your kind indulgence, here are songs I was able to re-record from a terrible source tape. In some cases I had to rewrite lyrics from his buried vocals! Warts and all this is ALL ME.

Lyrics
In Their Eyes The Day came when I got this feeling Move out, forget about life for a while Those double-white lines were calling Get out on the road, forget about life for awhile Oh I got the fever Oh I had to go Oh the feeling oh it carries Its in their eyes Its in their eyes The man in back was standing on the road Hitching a ride from here to there he said By the time we reached Dallas he was crying And belly-aching that he wished that he was dead Oh it got so heavy Oh as he stepped out on the road Told him not to take it oh so hard, yeah It's in our eyes It's in our lives Oh my eyes were opened Oh I could see it clear What I was looking for I left behind me It's in my eyes
