Biography:
Three willfully geeky guys from South Amboy, New Jersey who play pop punk with speed, power and a mighty smirk (which occasionally belies the fact they sometimes mean what they say), the Ergs! (or, as they like to call themselves, "The Near-Sighted Three") came together in 2000, with Jeffrey Erg (Jeff Schroeck) on guitar and vocals, Joey Erg (Joe Keller) on bass, and Mikey Erg (Mike Yannich) on drums and lead vocals. The band wasted no time preserving their music for posterity

Intro ditty is for someone else to figure out. Here's the rest of the song.
VERSE 1
G Bm
Dark sky blue with a bright red crown.
Em C
The invitation every city and town.
G Bm
Ready to go in-to the unknown.
Em C
I don't know the if and whens of coming home.
PRECHORUS 1
Am G
My future crept up on me, much like a heart at-tack
Am G D
Straight life is calling me, and I ain’t calling back
CHORUS
G C
Out, out on the inter-state
G C
Out, out on the inter-state
G C
Out, out on the inter-state
D
Out on the interstate again. [Fig. 1]
VERSE 2
G Bm
On either side it's a fern and creek,
Em C
And nothing but black asphalt, in between.
G Bm
It's not safe to drive in the rear-view
Em C
It's what lies a-head that can kill you
PRECHORUS 2
Am G
My future crept up on me much like a heart attack.
Am G D
The straight life is calling me, but I aint calling back.
CHORUS
SOLO: G Bm Em C x4
PRECHORUS 3
Am G
And re-ality is bangin' hard on my bathroom door.
Am G D
And nobody calls me ‘cause I don't answer it no more.
CHORUS
