lyrics

The first time I read on the road
I was parking cars at an Italian restaurant

I dreamt of leaving work and driving late into the day
That followed new

After college I thought about taking off but instead
I took a job

And realized years later why
They didn’t teach this book in high school

Then I hear some rumbling from the back
A man stands up and begins his attack
His wife begs for him to please sit down
He opens his mouth and screams out loud

Play us a song we know
You hack
Stop talking about Jack Kerouac
Play us a song we know
You hack
You ain’t no Jack Kerouac

I read the Dharma Bums the second time I went to school
And lost my self completely in the book

Thinking about those days
in Berkeley, C-A
Beating drums and drinking wine

Now I’m employed and it gets me annoyed
But these books they always give me hope

Someday I’ll take a ride and see the countryside
When that day will come I cannot predict

Then I hear some rumbling from the back
A man stands up and begins his attack
His wife begs please sit down
He opens his mouth and screams out loud

Play us a song we know
You hack
Stop talking about Jack Kerouac
Play us a song we know
You hack
You ain’t no Jack Kerouac

One night walking home drunk from the bar
I slurred and I spit and I cursed
The pavement heard me ask you to take a walk
And tell me what it is I should do with my life
