He started off telling me a long winded story about how he ended up in this corner of the country
a big little small town where the interstate ends and the zonies come to play
His family left him so he lives in cast of rotating dream homes he'll never have and that's ok
Here the weathers so nice you could spend the rest of your life sleeping in a car park its oh so taboo
Ill tell you this country will break your heart
You may never be as free as you were with that old map your truck you made it so far
Further than i've ever gone before
I'll never make it to the stars
I'm stuck in this hotel circle where i'm from
He traded in his lazy boy for a lawn chair
Hung up his nine to five blues
Ex wife took the dog, she was thelma and louise all wrapped up in one, taking baths in red wine just for fun
I'll tell you no multi family home is safe from being perverted into a hotel in this state
turning homes into hotels whos that all for
