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? I
sn't that what you would call
it? 
You're my road buddy, but I'm lonely all
the time 
I thought 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 bird is rusty 
I thought
we'd find ecah story like a snakeskin or an
arrowhead 
But we onlys top at fastfood places

They hate thier jobs, I understand 
They
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 
Double
back I thought I heard the Tori sing, 
I'll
take that thing 
This is not a romance with
the road 

In 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 could only stop a minute 
We go to
the venting 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 mon, you couldn't wait, go ahead, have
dinner, 'cause werre running 
just a little
late 
But we're on our way 
Road buddy, 
road buddy, I heard about the boxcars and the
family of travelers 
But there's real estate
sides in the cornfields 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
