Road Buddy
(专辑: End Of The Summer - 1997)
We passed the
stores, we passed the
hotels Filled our car with gasoline We drove that night, I
saw the
moon Almost got us in an accident And then at the
rest stop When that woman tried to steal my wallet It felt like an adventure Isn't that what you would call it? Well, isn't that what you would call it? You're my road buddy, but I'm lonely all the
time I
thought that we'd be joking, having long talks on late night drives But you drive so bad I
lost my patience So pass the
chips and turn the
station This is not a
romance with the
road Where the
moss grows up the
trees To where the
dirt is rusty red I
thought we'd find each story like a
snakeskin or an arrowhead But we only stop at fast-food places They hate their jobs, I
understand I
try to act familiar, but they're floating just above the
land And we are all floating You're my road buddy, but I'm lonely all the
time I
thought we'd show that friendship could be stronger than the
crossroads devil But I
thought I
heard the
tollman sing I'll take that thing you got from me This is not a
romance with the
road And those cliffs are the
same as in the
magazines I
have at home And the
tall grass reminds me of the
same dreams I
had at home I
thought life was a
road, and I
wanted to begin it I
said, my friend and I
going on a
trip so I
can only stop a
minute We go to the
vending machines I
want to watch these kids with their mother, sipping on their juice boxes And smiling at each other And maybe that's their dad on the
phone Saying, hey mom, you shouldn't wait, go ahead, have dinner 'Cause were running just a
little late But we're on our way Road buddy, road buddy I
heard about the
boxcars and the
family of travellers But there's real estate signs in the
cornfield stubble I
know there's love, I
bet there's trouble But you just can't spend a
lifetime on the
road And there's something I
finally faced I
finally think I
come from someplace This is not a
romance with the
road
