All I Want - Lyrics - Jandek
Jandek is the musical project of Sterling Richard Smith, an outsider musician who operates out of Houston, Texas. Since 1978, Jandek has self-released over 70 albums of unusual, often emotionally dissolute folk and blues songs without ever granting more than the occasional interview or providing any biographical information. Jandek often plays a highly idiosyncratic and frequently atonal form of folk and blues music, often using an open and unconventional chord structure. Jandek's music is unique, but the lyrics closely mirror the country blues and folk traditions of East Texas. The name "Jandek" is most commonly used to refer specifically to the mainâoften soleâperformer, rather than to the project.

All I want to do is drink wine
And watch the sun go down
Let my thoughts go where they will
Wander down with the sun
When it comes up I get more serious
But it's not that time of day
The chores are over
I can't think that way
Wander down the avenue
Avenue, sun go down
If I meet you in my thoughts
We'll do what we do
And then I'll return
To the blank stare wanderlust
Where the wind takes the tree leaves
Or maybe it don't
The same old stare got me coming back
Guess I'll stare me to death
A vanishing, wandering thing
All I want to do is drink wine
And watch the sun go down
