Dar Williams - Road Buddy lyrics

We passed the storeswe passed the hotels

Filled our car with gasoline

We drove that nightI saw the moon

Almost got us in an accident

And then at the rest stop

When that woman tried to steal my wallet

It felt like an adventure isn't that what you would call it? i

Sn't that what you would call it?

You're my road buddybut I'm lonely all the time

I thought we'd be jokinghaving long talks on late night drives

But you drive so bad I lost my patience

So pass the chips and turn the station

This is not a romance with the road

Where the moss grows up the trees

To where the bird is rusty

I thought we'd find ecah story like a snakeskin or an arrowhead

But we onlys top at fastfood places

They hate thier jobsI understand

They try to act familiarbut they're floating just above the land

And we are all floating

You're my road buddybut I'm lonely all the time

I thought we'd show that friendship could be stronger than the crossroads

Double back I thought I heard the tori sing

I'll take that thing

This is not a romance with the road

In those cliffs are the same as in the magazines I have at home

And the tall grass reminds me of the same dreams I had at home

I thought life was a road and I wanted to begin it

I saidmy friend and I going on a trip so I could only stop a minute

We go to the venting machines

I want to watch these kids with their mothersipping on their juice boxes and

Smiling at each other

And maybe that's their dad on the phone

Sayinghey monyou couldn't waitgo aheadhave dinner'cause werre running

Just a little late

But we're on our way

Road buddyroad buddyI heard about the boxcars and the family of travelers

But there's real estate sides in the cornfields I know there's love

I bet there's trouble

But you just can't spend a lifetime on the road and there's something I finally

Faced

I finally think I come from someplace

This is not a romance with the road
