Survive I - 75
80 miles from nowhere
with both hands on the wheel
6 lanes of lonesome
from Marietta to Mobile
Hobos in the hoosegow
no one understands
where the wind is blowing
in the hayseed hinterlands
Come drive I - 75
Come drive I - 75
Turn off the radio
you know that rock is dead
phony country shuffles
foul the air instead
Elmer Gantry wanna-bes
will save your soul for cash
neo-Nazi call in shows
baloney, tripe, and trash
Black top
white lines
rest stops
road signs
Black top
white lines
hip hop
end times
on and on
won't be long
on and on
goes this song
Come drive I - 75
Come drive I - 75
it's a hundred and four in the shade
the asphalt melts in the sun
backwater burgs & burbs
go by one by one
All the boonies in their boondocks
bungle in their bungalows
party down in Podunk!
in corporate cowboy clothes
Come drive I -75
Survive I - 75
(barely alive)
Come drive I -75
Survive I - 75
