    Road Trip 2008
    .
    Going time, on the road whenever I can
    Travel for free just like any hobo man
    .
    Destination unknown, I'm going on a lark
    Waiting to jump any train just after dark
    .
    Got to see corn fields burnt to the ground
    Keeps prices high and profits safe and sound
    .
    Smelled the poppy seed drifting in the air
    Makes some dream of a world they can bear
    .
    Met some folks, you could call them friends
    Steal the gold from your teeth when it ends
    .
    Mr. Nobody over there didn't last the night
    Now he's just fair game but don't seem right
    .
    I like that hat and I'll have the overcoat too
    Stop your whining and just grab the other shoe
    .
    No funerals here no slice of birthday cake
    But then again, we had one hell of a wake
    .
    Hey brother, pass that bottle if your able
    I'm gonna drink it down then eat the label
    .
    Too drunk to tell if I just traded my soul
    So I can shine on someone else's honor role
    .
