Road Buddy
We passed the stores, passed the hotels, filled our car with gas and then 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, well isn't that what you would call it? 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 nights driving 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 From 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 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 toll man saying "I'll take that thing you got from praying" This is not a romance with the road And those cliffs are the same as in the magazines I have at hom And the tall grass reminds me of the same dreams I had at home Letras de cancionesI thought life was a road so I wanted to begin it I said "My friend and I are going on a trip, so I can only stop a minute." You go to the vending machines, I want to watch those 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, youshouldn't wait, Go ahead, have dinner cause we're running just a little late, But we're on our way." How 'bout it, road buddy, road buddy I heard about the box cars 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 span a lifetime from the road And there's something I've finally faced, I finally think I come from someplace But this is not a romance with the road From Letras Mania
