My brother encountered many amusing incidents while riding a used girls 10 speed bike across the USA in 1986. This song is supposed to have a 'Fist Full Of Dollars' vibe.
Artist picture
raw ragged garage rock with brilliant lyrics
A dusty left handed axe strangler cranking out raw ragged riffs from the prairie of Nebraska. Even the tornadoes run from mournful wailing of his tortured guitar. And that voice - it can bring down a hawk from 300 yards.

Story behind the song

Lyrics
Another hot and dusty day The sun beats down on dry cracked ground He still has such a long way A sweltering wind the only sound. He's riding out on the range going head long on into the dust the landscape never seems to change but he pushes on, Oklahoma or bust Staying in a crummy little hotel the room stunk and was filled with flies. In a run down little Kansas town It’s just one more thing to despise. Riding in an arid stretch of bent and twisted Kansas trees Wondering what luck this day would fetch battling a stiff hot western breeze What a wretched road to hell surrounded by a sea of sun baked death and what is that atrocious smell? fouling every strained and dusty breath. Finally crossing the state line to where "The wind comes rolling 'cross the plains" any campsite would be just fine to brace for the impending torrential rains A river is running thru his tent in a horrible Oklahoma park And cretins in a pickup truck are taunting from out in the dark.

Great lyrics, excellent imagery! Love the arrangement, it really conjures a vivid image with a dark and dramatic vibe.
