I spent about 10 days at Joshua Tree California last year and wrote a bunch of songs while I was there. This one is in memory of Gram Parsons who was very much associated with the area. He overdosed in the Joshua Tree motel and died in hospital at the neighbouring town of Yucca Valley. The Trail Of The Grievous Angel Words & Music by Mick Brady Meet me tonight at the High Desert MotelI’ll be there around sundown when the sky is burning redI'll see you out in the parking lot on Highway 62We’ll set out on the trail of The Grievous Angel
I'm gonna load this pick-up truck, take off into the hillsWatch a thousand stars come out, feel the desert chillLight up a campfire by some dried-up river bedSing a verse of Hickory Wind, try to get inside of his head He was just a southern boy, his home town couldn't give him enough Headed out west to California, he was always gonna push his luck In his hour of darkness the desert gave him what he’d need The little town of Yucca Valley was where it was gonna lead He’d come to the end of the trail - The Grievous AngelMust be about a million miles between this desert town and Sin CityBut there’s a good saloon where all the fallen angels still look prettyYou can hang out on your back porch, you can hang out on the 31st floorWon’t make any difference when the man knocks on your door
