Genre-blending jammers Lost Ox are based out of Portland, OR. The band, known for combining elements of funk, psychedelia, jazz, Americana, and progressive rock, was formed in 2017. Rooted both in the jamband resurgence of the 1990s and the original 1960s psychedelic folk rock revolution, their style encompasses many familiar jam tropes, all executed and reimagined with an inspired, dauntless precision. The band has released three full length studio albums, Wildheart (2018), Earthsnake (2021), and Stuck (2022), with plans for a fourth in 2023. Lost Ox has shared bills with TAUK, Spafford, Consider the Source, Yak Attack, Cycles and many others, and has played hundreds of national shows and traveled tens of thousands of miles across the US.
"Railroad City"
city deep where steel heart beat
and black soot covers up the sky
old man sits with an empty can
begging a dollar or a dime
he can’t sleep and he can’t eat
without downing two bottles of wine
livin in a Railroad City
with the Highway Queen
aint always pretty
sometimes lowdown mean
seems there aint no driver
of the big machine
living in a Railroad City with the Highway Queen
junkyard of rusted cars,
house’s just a broken shack
cigarette packs and hamburger wraps and
tv on full blast
and the tv man with this cheesy tan
tryna scare up some quick cash
livin in a Railroad City
with the Highway Queen
aint always pretty
sometimes lowdown mean
seems there aint no driver
of the big machine
living in a Railroad City with the Highway Queen
with blue or red flags hung up high
everywhere it’s the same ol song
in the province, in the city [round here just like in DC]
the tail wags the dog
high up buildings scraping sky
staring down at us all
livin in a Railroad City
with the Highway Queen
aint always pretty
sometimes lowdown mean
seems there aint no driver
of the big machine
living in a Railroad City with the Highway Queen
just like in every railroad city
down every highway line
from Mumbai to Mississippi
Saskatchewan to Dubai
asphalt nights and truck headlights [with blinking lights]
shanty shacks by the tracks of steel
just like in every railroad city
the deal aint no deal
