lyrics
I was driving straight through Texas
on the look out for a solid breakfast
before I even pulled the car over
you were in crying on my shoulder
you said that life was a son of a bitch
and leaned in close to thank me for the lift
the only thing I thought was "what the hell is going on?"
cause with looks like that
you're a trigger on a hand grenade
with a mind like that
you're holding all cards to be played
but I got the keys and I've got the hard cash
there's nothing more I've ever wanted than to take you somewhere fast
Driving right up on through Illinois
tuning in looking for a little noise
when the car broke down
somewhere south of North Dakota
pulling hard on rum and cola
holding out for California
Striking matches pulling on embers
thinking back and trying to remember
the last time I saw so many stars
half drunk and sleeping in my car
we made a wish on every single one of em
held it true to the rising of the sun
and when the last one left
we held our hands and held our breath
it was all we had
a little ball of burning hope
all our lives it always seemed to go up in smoke
but no we're here lying in the middile of the road
well I'm sick on tired of running
its time we found a little something
Hiking west on roads our thumbs out cold
swapping miles for a tank of gas and an extra load
when we crossed the bridge running out out Washington
out feet were numb, our voices sung, let's plant our heart in Oregon
on the look out for a solid breakfast
before I even pulled the car over
you were in crying on my shoulder
you said that life was a son of a bitch
and leaned in close to thank me for the lift
the only thing I thought was "what the hell is going on?"
cause with looks like that
you're a trigger on a hand grenade
with a mind like that
you're holding all cards to be played
but I got the keys and I've got the hard cash
there's nothing more I've ever wanted than to take you somewhere fast
Driving right up on through Illinois
tuning in looking for a little noise
when the car broke down
somewhere south of North Dakota
pulling hard on rum and cola
holding out for California
Striking matches pulling on embers
thinking back and trying to remember
the last time I saw so many stars
half drunk and sleeping in my car
we made a wish on every single one of em
held it true to the rising of the sun
and when the last one left
we held our hands and held our breath
it was all we had
a little ball of burning hope
all our lives it always seemed to go up in smoke
but no we're here lying in the middile of the road
well I'm sick on tired of running
its time we found a little something
Hiking west on roads our thumbs out cold
swapping miles for a tank of gas and an extra load
when we crossed the bridge running out out Washington
out feet were numb, our voices sung, let's plant our heart in Oregon

The woozy indie rock on this EP is perfect for cruising down an empty highway on a summer afternoon, top down, volume up.
