Mad Happy - Truckstop Honeymoon lyrics

It ain't like things changed much once we hit the road Being too broke for a coffee and a roll That don't slow you down, just more o-the same stubborn forward march Maxxed out cards and empty bank accounts, only leave a psychic mark Late morning in the parking lot at a place called flying j Nuzzled under the interstate with an all you can eat buffet Aside from the sun, noone cares if we sleep till twelve or one, and The drive, town-ta-town, helps me forget where i came from Wasn't raised on a runcible spoon A year and a day on a truck stop honeymoon Everything we had to spend We spent on a one way ticket Now we're down and out, high n' dry With nuthin' but our looks to get us by If I'm gonna starve tonight Then i wanna starve by your side Drinkin' truck stop coffee And i tell you it's all right You know that you look gorgeous when ya' cry If this is what they call freedom i'll take it If this is bad as it gets we'll make it Every single turn somethin's testin' me Fates just jealous cause we're spendin' all our time chasin' signs for destiny We were nearly half insane and broke down By the time we left our strange hometowns Living at the edge of bored to d**h in a place called no surprise Where the only thing that ever changes is what gets you high I'd already kicked dope and crack and a bad s*ut habit... twice, at least And i'd just been replaced by a proper queen at a west side hair salon If we had what to lose, it was getting old on mary-jane and jack And away was the only worthwhile place to get. Wasn't raised on a runcible spoon A year and a day on a truck stop honeymoon If i ever knew your strength I ever believed in your resolve To achieve even your wildest dreams Nothing is as dire as it seems Even as the sky turns pink On another night here at the brink We've got love to make Records to break Nothin' but romance to fill the hours If this is what they call freedom i'll take it If this is bad as it gets we'll make it Every single turn somethin's testin' me Fates just jealous cause we're spendin' all our time chasin' signs for destiny Words by Rivka and Mike iLL Music by Mad Happy Copyright BMI
