Trivia, story behind the song, etc.
The Scene of the Crime was inspired by a visit back to the ranch in San Luis Obispo where David lived until the age of three. It describes his and his father's running away and asks 'Why do I always hurt the people I love, time after time after time? Why do I always come back to the scene of the crime?' Peter Grant's cello-like Hawaiian guitar and Mark Swindell's fiddle themes help set the mood. Theresa Coyle contributes her clear and gorgeous harmony. Matt Bohn (Highlife Express) adds his thoughtful and creative bass lines to this and all the following tracks.
Lyrics
THE SCENE OF THE CRIME © Copyright copyright David Anderson, Moccasin Telegraph Music (ASCAP) Wildflower fields for a young boy's feet Railroad tracks and a dead end street A means of escape and a way to repeat My father's mistakes Why do I always hurt the people I love Time after time after time Why do I always come back To the scene of the crime He left his family when he was sixteen Freight trains and med school And the spaces between Before he could stop it a war intervened And a child was awake I've been a good son I've been a thief I am a soldier of true belief But this is the longest that my life Has ever been did it ever begin I ran away before I was five But the hobos brought me back And I was raised by their wives The next time I left It was out of the lives Of my children Why do I always hurt the people I love It's just a matter of time Trying to keep my heart on the track Straight to the end of the line Looking at all of the places I've been And the time I spent waiting For my life to begin Why do I always come back To the scene of the crime
