Strum
D-DU-UDU
A white ghost making his way up the west coast trying to focus his
High hopes on a vagina or two, he's taking his chances
Meanwhile back in his living room bright smiles are watching his toddler run
Speed trials over grandmother's rug, and nature advances
Verse pt. 2
Up the interstate, he's been awake and pretty drunk for three whole days
No one wants to stop until they get to where they're going
I'll get to where Iím going pretty soon
So he takes another drink cause watching the scenery bleed
Into each similar scene isn't as sweet as it had been in his dreams
It's faster to buy cigarettes and some cold beer if you don't rattle the
Cashier by asking her back to your room, she's calling security
The car's on fire in the parking lot and nobody wants it to rain
But God isn't listening, so all the windshield's glisten
The water and oil mix causing the fire to spread to five or six
Innocent automobiles sitting in their nearby spot, what a cruel God we've got
Right on, etc.
So he takes another drink cause watching the formula bleed
Into each similar theme isn't as sweet as it had been in his dreams
