lyrics

Tired and lonely, sitting at a truckstop
Dreaming about the end of the world
Waiting on another flat tire to fix
And another expense to defer

Two miles left, three hours late
‘Fore the road’ll eat me alive
With twice as much gas I’ll make the next damn town
To make half enough I’d need to survive

And the hole that I dug ain’t filling back up
Lost out at sea, shit out of luck,
Tryin’ to forget all the people that I’m bout to let down

I’m talking to much to hear you
Too focused to read the signs
I took it on trust, bet it and busted again

Half way to OK,
Lost track of what day,
It is and where the hell that I’m gone (goin)
When i’m still getting lost on these straight wide roads
It’s time to start turning to home

Broken strings, broken down van,
Broken down man coming up next,
But if the best is behind, or the worst still ahead, that’s a course I gotta correct

When the heat of the day is beating me down,
Lost where I’ve been, tryin to get found,
Waiting on another bad omen to turn me around

I’m talking to much to hear you
Too focused to read the signs
I took it on trust, bet it and busted again

Waited too long at the table
Didn’t see them stack the deck
Deal or walk
I’ll still be cutting the cheque

I’m talking to much to hear you
Too focused to read the signs
I took it on trust, bet it and busted again

I’m talking to much to hear you
Too focused to read the signs
I took it on trust, bet it and busted again
Bet it and busted again
Bet it and busted again
