Ain't Just The Van

(albüm: Burn It At Both Ends - 2020)

I know how it feels to skip a meal for a tank of gasoline
A coffee ain't a pick-me-up if you don't get to sleep
When they kill the lights at closing time I'm in the driver's seat
Rolling on
Down the road
The closest thing to cleaning up's a truck stop bathroom sink
Got a girl at home that's hanging on that I ain't seen in weeks
And friends don't call unless they want a couple will call seats
To the show
But they don't know

Ain't just the van that's on the verge of breaking down
Ain't just the tires getting tired of burning out
Busted strings and whiskey drinks
Are way past catching up to me
Ain't just the van that's on the verge of breaking down

I tore off the rearview so there ain't no looking back
I could ask my dad for cash but I got too much pride for that
Oh, my mama wants her baby to become a college grad
But I'm chasing down the radio that's coming through the dash

Ain't just the van that's on the verge of breaking down
Ain't just the tires getting tired of burning out
Busted strings and whiskey drinks
Are way past catching up to me
Ain't just the van that's on the verge of breaking down

Ain't just the van that's on the verge of breaking down
I'm just as tired as these tires burning out
Busted strings and whiskey drinks
Are way past catching up to me
Ain't just the van that's on the verge of breaking down
Ain't just the van that's on the verge of breaking down
