M--Mitchell; L--DuBois)



C on the road / the heart is slow / the mind is not clocked

the feet are sore / the hands and eyes are quick / to stop the world.



on the road / confirms something about yourself

confirms something about your mold--some say it's freedom

freedom some say / is when you get back home.



fights and rights / embassies and fantasies

one street towns with stop lights / one stop streets with no towns--

i don't need the patter / i don't need assistance / to review the show...--C



i want to keep my pearly whites / i don't want my shirts to keep a fit

i want a good steak once in a while / a checkered cab to go once in style--

freedom some say / is when you get back home



howls of laughter / sights and sounds / movies and groupies

one day lover / next day down--

i'd like to keep my pearly whites / and have a little stride in life...



i'd be sometimes late / i'd be sometimes early

and surely once in a while i'd like to be alone.



one day aggressive / one day shy

one day permissive / one day sly...



on the road confirms something about myself

confirms something about my storm--

some say it needs freedom,

freedom some say / is after the storm
