Another Ticket on the Windshield

There's not a whole lot to keep you busy in a dusty Nevada town But it gives a man a chance to breathe and his mind can then slow down You can't blame it on the bottle when it happens either way That the wallet phone and keys routine gets too much for the front of our brains To fight the menace of distraction, strategies we learn so well But I've seen all my best intentions pave a road to some fresh hell Life keeps moving, I watch the clouds pass through the sky Another ticket on the windshield, another bill that'll pass me by My friends all think it's funny They give a wink and a friendly shove It doesn't feel good losing money or the trust of the ones you love Would you trust in a forgetful and genuine friend I don't think so Though it might work out fine ninety-nine times, you're bound to learn Just like the friends I used to know Life keeps moving, I watch the clouds pass through the sky Another ticket on the windshield, another bill that'll pass me by
