The Finest Breeze

I stacked the money in a suitcase
I filled the tank with rocket fuel
I'm coming in hot so grab what you got
we're taking this on the road
put some miles down south between us
and the ritas taste just right
the finest breeze on the highway
is just what I'm talking about
it was then I knew our future
was crushed at the speed of light
so I took it all before I made the call
and headed out in the night
put some miles down south between us
and the ritas taste just right
the finest breeze on the highway
is just what I'm talking about
I put the money in a suitcase
I filled the tank
and I got the keys
I'm taking this on the road

1975

she has her bell bottoms on
and we're as innocent as the
summer nights are long
and we listen to the radio
that kshe 95 while she
picks me up from home
and we're off to the skating rink
to play foosball with our friends
and laugh and smoke a lot
and I can taste the cigarettes
on her lips when she
kisses me good night
I'm setting my radio dial for 1975
I'm setting my time machine for 1975
times have changed
since I watched them struggle
to empathize with their neighbors
and I think back
to how they used to be
which was super cool and kinda high
but they seem broken
and I can't seem to reach them
no matter how I try
I'm setting my radio dial for 1975
I'm setting my time machine for 1975
and I'm taking you back with me to 1975
so I'm setting my radio dial
for when everything's alright

well it's a fine new day
and it was a perfect night
for sleeping in my car
that initial feeling
of what the hell am i doing here
when it comes to me
I'll never really be free
my ability to forget
is so long gone
and it's hard to admit
I woke up in my car
trying to pinpoint
where things went wrong
and I do remember
the saxon pub last night
the lights were brighter from the rain
and we lit that fuse
with no such hesitation
who says that crime doesn't pay
well I look like hell
and coffee is required
for motivation
I look for my cash
as the morning traffic
breaks my concentration
who says that crime
doesn't pay

Had To Walk Away

that tells me everything
I need to know
pleading the fifth
to everyone I know
and it might matter
if I cared at all
I ask for favors
but never call
I have no one to blame
for the situation I am in
I had to walk away
I gave it up again
there will be that time
when things are going well
and I'll think to myself
well, what the hell
but I gotta pick and choose
cuz honey I was born to lose
today just ain't my day
and this I know is true
I got no one to blame
for the situation I am in
I had to walk away
I gave it up again
there ain't no one left to blame
and things just aren't the same
I had to walk away
I gave it up again

Just Don't Know

I'm just lookin'
is there anything
for a fella like me
I understand
cuz she'd like to know
where we gonna go
I've been lookin'
just no findin'
baby I just don't know
I've been cuttin
for next to nothin'
just to keep us all fed
and there are times
I have to wonder
if she heard what I said
I've been lookin'
just no findin'
baby I just don't know

Headlights

as I stumble through
all the darkness
and I feel around
for the light
I wonder
if you can even hear me
struggling
with all my might
because I hear you
you stumble too
because everyone
everyone is gone
and I miss them
I miss them too
but before
we crash in the dark
could you turn your headlights on
cuz I'm headed for you
headed for you
yes I miss them
I miss you too
so I wonder
if you can hear me too
struggling
with all my might
because I hear you
you stumble too
because everyone
everyone is gone
and I miss them
I miss them too
