I've been standing here

Waiting for the bus on a Saturday

Laundry on my back

Ultraviolet rays

Like posing for a shot on a magazine

What the hell does it mean



I'm a travelling man

Straight from the can

I'm a thousand miles away

From my number one fan



My folks are getting tight

Won't let me out at night

You can't avoid the complications

When there's no reason at all



When the lightning strikes we fry

I'll drink my beer

I'll wipe my tears

Southbound in the sky



Another crime

Another reason gets you everyday

The only time that you can talk

You ain't got nothing to say



Well, I'm caught up in a stupid game

That I can't play

It's just a waste of time

But I'm in it anyway



I've been sitting here

Watching the signs

Too many cars at night

Belching in the moonlight



We're doing ninety

As the sky turns to gray

The people look like bees

Buzzing in the highway



The wheel are rolling

Like a rolling stone

Alone, I choose the road less traveled on



Now I'm lying here

Waiting for the day on the second deck

Dreaming of a girl from a fairy tale

Chain around my neck

A ride is all it takes

But pains get in the way
