about

A wavering mirage appears small as a needle’s head upon the seemingly infinite horizon of the homogenous snake we know as the United State’s Interstate Highway System. For an unrecognizable amount of what is said to be time, you and your road companion have been passing through the trials, tribulations, jubilations, and temptations of the road. From the ocular raisins resting behind your eyelids the mirage comes into focus and if there was a god, this is it. You, my friend, have found an oasis, a refuge, an ever changing home away from home. You have found the great North American Truck Stop.
Breath easy, you can rest here
But not too long

lyrics

me and my baby at the truck stop, yeah
me and my baby at the truck stop, yeah
can i get a quarter, i want to play some video games

me and my baby at the truck stop, yeah
me and my baby at the truck stop, yeah
lookin at the key chains, what do you want your name to be today

all the roads on the interstate
all the roads on the interstate
look the same

me and my baby at the truck stop, yeah
me and my baby at that truck stop, yeah
a velvet blanket of elvis hangs up high smiling down upon faces

me and my baby at that truck stop, yeah
me and my baby at that truck stop, yeah
do you want to split this 40 with our subway

is this the terminal state
or is this
heaven

watch how the birds dip and dive
watch how the birds dip and dive
outside your window as our car screams down i-25

watch how the birds dip and dive
watch how the birds dip and dive
do you think you could forgive me
i think i could forgive you
and we'll both go on forgiving each other
because thats what people who love each other do
