about

This is an actual road near my uncle’s farm in southwest Virginia, a road that Zach passes every time he returns to his childhood home in PA-a sardonic look at the religious fervor around good vs. evil-also meant to be a classic country satire. It’s simply a fun song about what could really be down a road called Rte. 666-heck, it could be the best life to live-with your wife Eve getting your kicks!

lyrics

Hogback Road
-Simon Flory and Zach Schmidt

Down in Virginia I found my soul
Where the devil lives on Hogback Road
Scrapple in the skillet and corn to hoe
Way down yonder on Hogback Road

I’ve lived here 12 long years
I’ve had nothing to fear
I’m a friend of the devil he’s a friend of mine
I don’t mind his capes hanging out on the line

Route 666
He’s got a light for your smoke when you need a fix

I consider myself a lucky man
Cause I don’t adhere to any old plan
It’s like he’s here and then he’s gone
Never been seen on Sunday morning

Route 666
We go fishing on the river Styx

Preacher man came snooping around
Asked me son have the lord you found
I said the lord don’t live on Hogback Road
It’s my wife Eve, the devil and me, capes on the line no water into wine
Light for your smoke, cash when you’re broke, fish the river Styx and get your kicks on

Route 666
So you better get gone before you get tricked
You never get gone before you get tricked

about

Simon Flory Fort Worth, Texas

It takes a perceptive ear to translate icons of a mythical “Americana” into the daily textures of real human lives, and Flory does it with the sincerity of early country music. His compositions are as much short-story sketches as they are songs, each populated – like the locales that inspire them – with those among us who have few choices. ... more
