Rocky Votolato

Rocky Votolato (born March 8, 1977 in Dallas, Texas), is an American singer-songwriter. He was raised in a small town called Frost, roughly 50 miles south of Dallas, until the age of 13. After his parents were divorced, his mother remarried and moved the family to the Pacific Northwest in 1991, where he attended Inglemoor High School in Kenmore, Washington.[citation needed] Alienated by his southern roots, the isolation lead him to focusing all of his attention on learning to play guitar and writing songs. Inspired by seeing many punk shows including bands like Jawbreaker and Fugazi, he started several different musical projects while in high school. more »

Piles and piles and piles of pictures
overflowed in boxes in the garage
A Great War was being waged for the future
of a family soldiers on the march
Loading a 27 footer
Mothers Attic with broken furniture
Hell on wheels and 4 teenagers
On our way to greener pastures

Heading North up from Houston never to return
The Great Pontificator was a hero among men
Say goodbye forever 
to the shadows of where you've been
We're on our way to the the evergreen 
fields of Washington

I ain't ever seen the mountains
Flatlands all I'd known
until Douglas Firs and cold winds
Welcomed us into their arms
There was a house in New Orleans
A ball and chain we'd known
but now our fearless leader was on a jailbreak
we were on the run

Integrity and loyalty are just words to some men
But our fearless leader made a home in them

Heading North up from Houston never to return
The Great Pontificator was a hero among men
Say goodbye forever 
to the shadows of where you've been
We're on our way to the the evergreen 
fields of Washington
