I packed up and spent a week traveling east on the Interstate
A E A E
On a pittance for a fast food diet and some toothpaste

I can remedy along gettin' drunk, gettin' stoned

Then I'm back to my good old ways

Open arms at the bar for the prodigal son who often goes astray

For now the waking world can wait

To sing your blues away

And hope for better days
