Prairie dogs dodge Bessie’s thunderin’ wheels
Miles of asphalt chewed up every day
Gambier to Chicago, St. Louis – too many strip malls
Get me off this highway
Burning lungs and conversation
Whittling the hours away
Dead flies cake the windshield
A rusty pickup causes delays
Back out on the road
Far from home
Nothing could go wrong
Travelin’ for so long
Back out on the road
Far from home
Could mischief tag along,
When trippin’ too long?
Dawn breaks, the red sun blooms
Salacious temptations, whisper my name
We’ve made it thus far, might as well
Push the limits of the game
Sugar melts beneath my tongue
We take the stage as the sizzle begins
I grab the mic, stare into the light
The room’s walls begin to grin
Back out on the road
Far from home
Nothing could go wrong
Travelin’ for so long
Back out on the road
Far from home
Could mischief tag along,
When trippin’ too long?
