Po' Girl - 9 Hrs To Go lyrics

clock is ticking but I won't get up I know I gotta pack all that stuff into the van and drive to Portland 'cause i got 9 hrs to go up the coast through the old grove trees breathing in the ocean breeze it sure would be nice to get some sleep but i got 9 hrs to go i sit behind a desk all day listening to angry people have their say i'd like to play some songs take a walk in the sun but i got 9 hrs to go pressing bu*tons while i answer the phone and dreaming of a life on the road with no goodbyes only see you so long i got 9 hrs to go oh today i got 9 hrs to go oh maybe then i'll go home on route to Chicago i did this show in Milwaukee, i'm that slam poet, i'm the samurai saki that ivan e coyote talked about on her walkie talkie, they got on commercial drive, motor mouth co*ky, and got banned for life from lesbian street hockey, cause i'm rock 'n' roll weird like ginsberg without a beard, the whole world hates the president of the united states through protest and debate, but the Berlin Wall did fall while christians were on blind dates, what made mozart a genius was his laugh don't give me 15 minutes of fame give me an hour and a half, i gotta go or i'll be late for the show still got the smell of Texas on my clothes and now i'm out on the Oregon coast this place always reminds me of home but i got 9 hrs to go i've been here since 6 am trying to do and say just the right things but what's right for work might be wrong for me and i got 9 hrs to go call the doctor, call the ambulance somebody hurt you, now you're doing penance there are no answers only hard, hard questions i got 9 hrs to go oh today i got 9 hrs to go oh maybe then i'll go home sweet dreams save me i got 9 hrs to go oh maybe then i'll go home
