Truck Stop Honeymoon

It ain't like things changed much once

We hit the road

Being too broke for a coffee and a roll

That don't slow you down

Just more o-the same stubborn forward march

Maxxed out cards and empty bank accounts

Only leave a psychic mark

Late morning in the parking lot at a place

Called flying j

Nuzzled under the interstate

With an all you can eat buffet

Aside from the sun, noone cares if we sleep

Till twelve or one, and the drive, town-ta-town

Helps me forget where i came from

Wasn't raised on a runcible spoon

A year and a day on a truck stop honeymoon

Everything we had to spend

We spent on a one way ticket

Now we're down and out, high n' dry

With nuthin' but our looks to get us by

If I'm gonna starve tonight

Then i wanna starve by your side

Drinkin' truck stop coffee

And i tell you it's all right

You know that you look gorgeous when ya' cry

Chorus:

If this is what they call freedom i'll take it

If this is bad as it gets we'll make it

Every single turn somethin's testin' me

Fates just jealous cause we're spendin' all our time Chasin' signs for destiny

We were nearly half insane and broke down

By the time we left our strange hometowns

Living at the edge of bored to death

In a place called no surprise

Where the only thing that ever changes

Is what gets you high

I'd already kicked dope and crack

And a bad slut habit, twice

At least, and i'd just been replaced by a proper

Queen at a west side hair salon

If we had what to lose

It was getting old on mary-jane and jack

And away was the only worthwhile place to get

Wasn't raised on a runcible spoon

A year and a day on a truck stop honeymoon

If i ever knew your strength

I ever believed in your resolve

To achieve even your wildest dreams

Nothing is as dire as it seems

Even as the sky turns pink

On another night here at the brink

We've got love to make

Records to break

Nothin' but romance to fill the hours

(Chorus)
