This Is Not the Way Home

Broke down at a truck stop Got wet sweat under a hardtop (yeah'm, they got 'em) Wrong directions are shown Threw up in the men's restroom This is not the way home Shotgun freckle the road signs Wind burn 'cross the white line (out here) So much nothing is grown We finished our fifth six-pack (get another one) This is not the way home (alright, get lost, go) (Reckon we stop for a piss?) (We could stop for like five minutes maybe, please) (I gotta go for another piss, I really do) (I mean it) Left early without paying the bill Hitchhiked back to Broken Hill Left my wallet somewhere Wrong directions are shown This is not the way home Broke down at a truck stop A wet sweat under a hardtop (Ford Falcon hardtop) Wrong directions are shown again Threw up in the men's shit house But this is not the way home (Yes, uh, turn around, we lost the keys) Uh, this is not the way home (Not the way home, turn around, forty miles back)
