Cashillac 02:59
Back on the road again, too many miles and too many friends, it's time, it's time you paid it up, You continue on your course, with all the power, with all the force, of a her, of that hurricane And all those villages that you destroy, and all the help you will deploy Now you counting the yellow lines, dotted forms & need to fortify, then you know just where it'll stop, under mile where the body drops, you'll see, just how the grave can be Open that trunk, and smile wide, and inside, is your surprise, Now back on the ol' 61, breeze in your hair, the party has begun, but you, you don't know where to begin, the miles fly & still you got time, reading highway signs that you find, oh babe, there's no limit to you, and all these problems, you realize, you must look in the eyes, no matter how many lies

She said, who do you love, I had to pause, I said, love my ma, love my pa, She said beyond all that obvious shit, now tell me son how do you get your kicks, couldn't respond, could only look in the eye, and as we waited for my reply, thought about all the things that I thought would last, all the things gathered in the past well the smell of bourbon the shock of gin just not sure if I can let it all in She said, where do you go, and how we can I get there first, maybe a moment is just absurd, wait awhile as time will past, and all of those things that you'd thought you'd outlast, back before we found all that's broken in awhile maybe in the open, well when we will find that break, I guess that's a chance that she's willing to take, well the smell of bourbon the shock of gin, just not sure if I could let all in (not today)
