Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : Williams
[00:11.53] We passed the stores, we passed the hotels
[00:14.34] Filled our car with gas and then
[00:16.64] We drove that night, I saw the moon
[00:19.36] Almost got us in an accident, and
[00:22.59] And then at the rest stop
[00:24.86] When that woman tried to steal my wallet
[00:28.27] It felt like an adventure
[00:31.22] Isn't that what you would call it?
[00:34.13]
[00:35.73] Well isn't that what you would call it?
[00:39.34]
[00:41.65] You're my road buddy, but I'm lonely all the time
[00:47.98] I thought that we'd be joking, having long talks on late night drivin'
[00:53.34] But you drive so bad I lost my patience
[00:56.52] So pass the chips and turn the station
[00:59.53] No, this is not a romance with the road
[01:04.00]
[01:12.27] Where the moss grows up the trees
[01:14.58] To where the dirt is rusty red
[01:17.75] I thought we'd find each story like a snakeskin or an arrowhead
[01:23.09] But we only stop at fast food places
[01:25.91] They hate their jobs, I understand
[01:28.93] I try to act familiar, but they're floating just above the land
[01:34.66]
[01:36.37] And we are all floating
[01:40.49]
[01:42.39] You're my road buddy, but I'm lonely all the time
[01:48.42] I thought we'd show that friendship could be stronger than the Crossroads devil
[01:53.90] But I, I thought I heard the tollman saying
[01:57.27] I'll take that thing you got from praying
[02:00.08] Now this is not a romance with the road
[02:03.90]
[02:06.48] And those cliffs are the same as in the magazines I have at home
[02:12.09] And the tall grass reminds me of the same dreams I had at home
[02:18.00] I thought life was a road and I wanted to begin it
[02:23.53]
[02:24.72] I said, my friend and I are going on a trip so I could only stop a minute
[02:31.07] You go to the vending machines
[02:33.67] I want to watch these kids with their mother
[02:36.59] Sipping on their juice boxes and smiling at each other
[02:41.63] And uh, maybe that's their Dad on the phone
[02:44.82] Saying, hey Mom, you shouldn't wait, go ahead, have dinner
[02:50.15] 'Cause we're running just a little late
[02:53.57]
[02:57.98] But we're on our way
[03:00.02]
[03:01.01] How 'bout it?
[03:01.99] Road buddy, road buddy
[03:08.00] I heard about the boxcars and the family of travelers
[03:12.77] But there's real estate signs in the cornfield stubble
[03:15.93] I know there's love, I bet there's trouble
[03:18.78] But you just can't spend a lifetime from the road
[03:23.61]
[03:26.01] And there's something I finally faced
[03:28.71] I finally think I come from someplace
[03:31.91] No, this is not a romance with the road
[03:35.83]
