about
Living hand-to-mouth in a touring band in your late twenties is a time when the Peter Pan thing starts to wear off. Your friends are getting married and having babies…getting their first promotion at their “real ”job. This is me trying to muster a kind of “Born to Run” defiance, but with at least a little heads nod to the sacrifice of such a lifestyle. Also: let’s rock.
lyrics
Broke and standing on the shoulder
By an empty station wagon
With just my thumb and my dad’s gas can
I walk until my dogs are barking
I ain’t never been much for walking
And I ain’t ever had a sunburn on my hand
How far to go is hard to tell
There ain’t no map so wish me well
Jobs in a kitchen won’t get you much
’Cept patience and avarice and wanderlust
Kitchen pay won’t get you much more
Traded the dishes for an ’83 wagon
Had my dad take a look under the hood
He said, ‘Take my old gas can, check the oil
You should be good.’
Wish me wide-open roads
Wish me a warm place to rest
Wish me a life of my own
Wish me only happiness
I get a ride back from a friendly man
Who lifts me back with a full gas can
I point her out and we pull up slow
I wave my thanks and start to roll
