Some of Us Are Free, Some of Us Are Lost

lyrics

We read Kerouac as kids
And some of us are tempted by the road
I know going off the grid
Didn’t solve my problems back at home
In my defense, experience comes at a cost
Some of us are free, some of us are lost

Moonbeams, many billion stars
Summer on the beach in Mexico
Smoky after-hours bars
The loneliness of 10th Street in the snow
Traveling is everything but lines will be crossed
Some of us are free, some of us are lost

You can become a microdot
Floating around, an astronaut
Sort of exist and sort of not
As an afterthought
We remember we forgot

Brake squeal, carburetor cough
Wait until Mechanicsville, we’ll see
Service stations of a cross
Pit stops on the road to Calvary
The engine boils: motor oil, tailpipe exhaust
Some of us are free, some of us are lost
