Dandelions
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
life is a one way
dirt road
there's only one way to go
and you know its straight
straight to the end
its a long road
a dusty road
a dirty road
takes a lot of turns
gotta lot of pot holes
a lot of bends
and the only thing
the map says about
this road
is that it ends
so that map ain't helping
me very much
and I sure as hell
don't have the gas
so I drop the wheel
undo my seat belt
sit back
and enjoy the ride
I stomped down on the gas
and go really really fast
and wave my middle
finger at the slow pokes
as we pass
we're riding through the
jaws of hell
just so we can tell the tale
to all our friends
that'll meet us at the end
at the end
a sharp kick to
the lungs
when I take that
Nicotine
smoke and moonlight
fill my car
I'm talking to myself
about the state of things
yeah, talking to the stars
looking through the patterns
of self-indulgent lifestyle
looking through bars
and the only thing
the stars know
about this road
is that it doesn't
go anywhere
anywhere to far
so the stars aren't
helping me very much
and I sure as hell
ain't a very good guy
so I drop the wheel
undo my seat belt
sit back
and enjoy the ride
I stomped down on the gas
and go really really fast
and wave my middle
finger at the slow pokes
as we pass
we're riding through the
jaws of hell
just so we can tell the tale
to all our friends
that'll meet us at the end
at the end
when its over
we'll frolic through
the clover
and pick dandelions
or each others minds
it'll be like we were
kids again
before lonely nights
and heroin
before we knew the dangers
of a women
its called Heaven
and when I get there
maybe I'll find god
yeah
maybe I'll find god
in heaven
yeah maybe
I'll find god in heaven
in heaven
but god ain't helping
me very much
and I sure as hell
ain't a very good guy
so I drop the wheel
undo my seat belt
sit back
and enjoy the ride
I stomped down on the gas
and go really fuckin fast
and wave my middle
finger at hitchhikers
as we pass
we're riding through the
jaws of hell
just so we can tell the tale
to all our friends
that'll meet us at the end
