Road Buddy Lyrics by Dar Williams

Road Buddy Lyrics

    we passed the stores, we passed the hotels
    Filled our car with gasoline
    We drove that night, i 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 buddy, but i'm lonely all the time
    I thought we'd be joking, having 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 jobs, i understand
    They try to act familiar, but they're floating just above the land
    And we are all floating
    You're my road buddy, but 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 said, my 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 mother, sipping on their juice boxes and
    Smiling at each other,
    And maybe that's their dad on the phone,
    Saying, hey mon, you couldn't wait, go ahead, have dinner, 'cause werre running
    Just a little late
    But we're on our way
    Road buddy, road buddy, i 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
