Lyrics

love might push you far
I ain’t budging
stir crazy
drive you wild
wild child
ooh I caught the lonely bug on exit 55
hop jump skipping town
I can’t boogie
wheels don’t fail me now
now now
steaming out the city
leaving my past life behind
I drove many miles for marzipan
couple stops on the way
local gas pumps
putting 20s into the tank
my north eastern non chalance
was suddenly out of place
locals sense it from a far
I stare back and they look away
a dozen diner drip coffees
through the midwest climate
pitchforking pancakes
newspaper nosediving
my waitress sings softly
cleaning the table behind me
whistling minnie riperton
like nobody is watching
and when she goes silent
I reach for my pocket
put a quarter in the jukebox
and asked her what she wanted
Sinatra, Madonna
some Earth wind and fire?
embarrassed I could hear her
now she starts getting shyer
we laugh a little more
but when she steps out of sight
I leave an andrew jackson bill
under a dull butter knife
well maybe I should leave my number too
but then I’m leaving town in a few
love might push you far
I ain’t budging
stir crazy
drive you wild
wild child
ooh I caught the lonely bug on exit 55
hop jump skipping town
I can’t boogie
wheels don’t fail me now
now now
steaming out the city
leaving my past life behind
I drove many miles for marzipan
gas pedal escapes
the check engine light thats staring me in the face
pine trees pointed me west
I listened and didn’t blink
heard a whisper in the wind
that told me to runaway
down the never ending road
finding dollars for the toll
went 3 whole days
without speaking to a soul
Through land locked lanes I tried to take back control
felt the woes sink into me like the claws of a crow
I drift
into a state of limbo
i forget how to connect
like a flat rock skipped
bouncing off the river styx
lot lizards
bottles
my optimism slips
hangovers
hospitals
aught to get a grip
my tire tread thins
as I cross state lines
on the path beaten with sin
where my doomsday lies
you think its getting smaller in the mirror
but the problems left behind you
are closer than they appear
i fear
love might push you far
I ain’t budging
stir crazy
drive you wild
wild child
ooh I caught the lonely bug on exit 55
hop jump skipping town
I can’t boogie
wheels don’t fail me now
now now
steaming out the city
leaving my past life behind
I moved many mountains for marzipans
plenty paths to pick
the small town spots
that start to give me a glimpse
the butchers and mechanics
superheroes to their kids
with sacrificing wives
and noble reasons to live
the firefighters flood
into the tavern after 6
telling stories of their glory days
the moments that they miss
they welcome me like family
“pull up a stool to sit”
The numbness will retreat
And it finally starts to hit
the emptiness i feel
driving aimlessly to bliss
many moons in
the rooms of the motel 6
wallpaper peels
cheap liquor smells
temporary shelter for
the lives chasing thrill
and every night alone I had no one to rely on
the highways had a shoulder I could cry on
I sink into a dream
my thoughts call it a night
illuminated fuzz of the tv light
shines bright
