Lyrics
Escape from NH
Rollin? down the Highway I 84
Headin? for I 90, got my pedal to the floor
290 east my Jeep has a full load
busted radiator hose Jeep?s life?s blood pouring on the road
let me off this road
495 splits off to the left. Got to pull it over but the cars are whizzing past
let me off this road. Gotta get off, Let me off this road
Thought that this vacation trip ?ould be some kicks
?done it ev?ry year since 1986
?stead of settin? up my tent at the site
now I?m dodging trucks from Boston and points south both left and right
let me off this road
makin? it to the side of the road, smoke is pouring out the engine
will this car explode
let me off this road. Gotta get off, Let me off this road
That Mass trooper called a tow. Here?s the crock
to the dealer but, she didn?t have a hose in stock
That Jeep dealer said she?d have time next week
my vacation camping trip was looking oh so very bleak
get me on the road
Wife found a hose at the auto store
A repairman put it on and we were out the door
We were on the road. Goin? slowly, creepin? down the road
We got to the campsite as it got dark
4 days sittin?, fishin?, drinkin?. What a pretty park
All week long the Jeep just sat like a rock
When we tried to leave New Hampshire there?s a noisy engine block
Stuck here on this road
Radiator filled with antifreeze. Limped to a gas station where my engine finally siezed
stuck in New Hampshire
Tryin? to get back to Westchester
Came Lefebvres tow truck. They?re not to far
Stored all of my camp gear and they rented me a car
Went home to Westchester, they fixed the Jeep
Came back 3 days later, made it as far as that hill so steep
Stuck here on that road
At the Massachusettes/New Hampshire line. A triangle does exist which by 2 roads defined: New Hampshire Triangle. Not Bermuda, New Hampshire Triangle.
Wasn?t far from that spot I first got stuck.
And the second time that my poor Jeep?s a dead blue truck
You say a NH triangle?s Myth
I got stuck in that same spot a third, a fourth time and a fifth
Stuck here in New Hampshire
Finally got the Jeep fixed I?m on my way. I escaped the New Hampshire Triangle on that day.New Hampshire Triangle; Not Bermuda, New Hampshire Triangle.
