dreamed a misfit came a calling days at a time
|
a malcontent from the look alike ball and she was mine
|
she said, "take all preconceptions, tie 'em if you have to with a bow
|
leave 'em proud and prominent in the middle of the busiest road"
|
|
a stripper picked me up one night down at the "hideaway jewel"
|
she just wanted breakfast talk, she was working her way through school
|
talked about her boyfriend and her second full semester overload
|
she said, "some days I feel like I've been thrown in to the middle of the busiest road"
|
|
and I'm riding, only riding
|
|
a wreck out on the interstate and I got out to look
|
flares, blood and cassette tapes, broken glass by a trivia book
|
trooper said she never felt a thing as far as real trauma goes
|
two strangers hold a requiem in the middle of the busiest road
|
|
and I'm riding, only riding, yeah I'm riding
|
|
I'm gonna start a talk show on a local am station
|
one in danger of going dark and I'll pay 'em compensation
|
five thousand watts of power freeing tales of happenstance untold
|
eventually I'll be toll free to the dwellers of the busiest road
|
|
and I'm riding, only riding, yeah I'm riding, only riding
|
