Lyrics
Nothing Romantic
A
I'm glad you fixed my wipers before I left
My windshield is wet, I still don't get
All that clichAc crap you hear in road songs
High on Redbull and early Tom Waits
Driving real late, Man I hate
Being away from you for so long
A
There's nothing romantic about a highway
No big revelations, nothing new
I can see sky and pavement any day
There's nothing romantic about missing you
A
Another dirty mug at the Waffle House
On the road kill route, going south
Think I'll check out what's on the AM news?
From Northeast liberal left and self-help
To the Bible belt, I'm in a right wing hell
I've never felt so confused
A
There's nothing romantic about a highway
No big revelations, nothing new
I can see sky and pavement any day
There's nothing romantic about missing you
A
Nothing romantic just a job to do
I don't need to find myself cause I already found it in you
A
Feels good to stretch my legs and get out of the car
Gotta tune my guitar Looks like a decent bar
At least it ain't far from the motel room
