Dar Williams - Road Buddy текст песни

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 isnt that what you would call it? i

Snt that what you would call it?

Youre my road buddy, but Im lonely all the time

I thought wed 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 wed 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 theyre floating just above the land

And we are all floating

Youre my road buddy, but Im lonely all the time

I thought wed show that friendship could be stronger than the crossroads

Double back I thought I heard the tori sing,

Ill 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 thats their dad on the phone,

Saying, hey mon, you couldnt wait, go ahead, have dinner, cause werre running

Just a little late

But were on our way

Road buddy, road buddy, I heard about the boxcars and the family of travelers

But theres real estate sides in the cornfields I know theres love,

I bet theres trouble

But you just cant spend a lifetime on the road and theres something I finally

Faced

I finally think I come from someplace

This is not a romance with the road
