lyrics

C/G/F
Did a two year stint in the halls of higher learnin kept wonderin if anyone else saw the bars on the windows/ Or was I the only one yearning for the open road/ Endless search for pastures unsold/ I was a taxi driver in the pioneer valley/ Driving drunks and addicts to frat house and alleys/ Did overnights in the greater philadelphia area/ Maybe you can tell me whats scarier/ never seeing the sun or never seeing a paycheck/ Asking your friends for scraps or hours of your boss/ Knowing exactly what comes next or leaving it up to a coin toss
Am/G/F/C
But i'd keep life on my back and my death in a pack or a pouch/ I'd trade showers for rivers warm beds for hard floors and couches/ I'd rather lie to my family about long term plans and the state of my health than lie to myself/ I'd rather not see my hometown friends than risk becoming just another one of them/ Maybe they feel the same
Who the hell sends postcards these days/ We correspond through the same font same screen same color scheme/ No one in this world would recognize my handwriting/ So if you call me and I let it ring out like a dying chord/ It just means that I need you to record.
