“Rob’s and Carolee’s” is an ode to Taylor’s producer and bandmate Rob Watson and his wife, Carolee Mayne.
In 2019, Taylor told his Patreon subscribers that he visited Watson and Mayne recently with his son, and that
A number of years have passed since I last stayed at my friends' place in Eagle Ro...
[Verse 1]
I'm driving up to Eagle Rock
To Rob's and Carolee's
The two of them have lots to do
Two busy little bees
But they've always got time for a visit
Their spirits gentle as a breeze
There's some chips and a Corona waiting
Just as pretty as you please
[Chorus]
And anyone who's been there
Most certainly agrees
With faithful friends like this
Who has enemies?
So if you're ever up by Eagle Rock
It's worth the trip to be
With friends like kin and welcomed in
By Rob and Carolee
[Verse 2]
In the smoky conversation
Out on the hilltop balcony
God is in the details
And the gentle revelry
Like me, they got no money
And are always on their knees
But they got the kind of wisdom
That puts a troubled heart at ease
[Chorus]
And anyone who's been there
Most certainly agrees
With faithful friends like this
Who has enemies?
So if you're ever up by Eagle Rock
It's worth the trip to be
With friends like kin and welcomed in
By Rob and Carolee
[Verse 3]
Down the pitch-black hills of Eagle Rock
The road, it curves and serpentines
My headlights catch the movement
Of the dancing cypress trees
And even dark roads lead us homeward
And I smile 'cause I believe
That I'll always find a light on
At Rob's and Carolee's
