Broken

Well, she is just a broken girl

Grinding out her nights with hopes of seeing the world

Driving that truck to Oceanside just to lay like a cricket

Fade into the night

And I am just a lonely boy

Been crawling out bars

Trying to stay in the noise

Chasing down Kerouac's American dream

I've been chasing it now for far too long, it seems

Far too long

We're both just lovers tangled up in blues

We're both just lovers, so young and so confused

Well, I ain't ever seen the Mississippi sunrise

So darling, let's get in that truck tonight

I bet we make it there in time

Cause he we're just two mad kids

We're just running around this town trying to burn it down

Trying to wreck our clothes and bottle the heat

So we can chug it back down

Scrape our dirty knees

Cause we can still make believe

We're anyone we want with whatever we need

Well, tonight, I'll be Johnny

If you like, baby, you be June

I whisper to you, "Hey there, honey

I got some money tucked in this old jean jacket

I got two suitcases begging to be filled

So grab your bandanas

Grab all your pretty things

We'll pack them up just to leave them here

And see what highway ninety brings"

So let's run away tonight

We ain't got nothing left to lose

Let's run away tonight

We ain't got nothing left to lose

So let's run away tonight

We ain't got nothing left to lose

Let's run away tonight

Hell, we ain't got nothing to do
