lyrics

Been on the road for weeks
Barely stood on my feet
Through Philly and Chicago
Running forum the Gainesville heat
Been waiting for a girl
But the girl never came
You worked in a little bar
Not close but not that far

So I sat down to get a drink
Said I got nowhere to go
You gave me a beer and said I stink
Offered your couch at home

So when you roam along an unknown road
And you got nowhere to fucking go
Weirdos find each other along the way
There’s virtue in getting lost

The south has stories to be told
But this one I know I’ll hold
I’ll hold close to my heart
About a hobo and a girl at a bar

So we got drunk and walked thru
The streets of the town
We listened to Blitz records all night
Then we made a trip to New York
Was the time when the Pope was in town

Went to see a friend play a show
Till the whole fucking place burnt down
And sometimes, when you’re feeling lost
A light shines from above
And life’s all right
