All My Best Music Comes From Petrol Stations

about

Word - Callum Friend

lyrics

Engine's fired up and dust flies out of the back of my old Chevrolet four by four
I've got fourteen dollars in my wallet and it's possible the glove compartment contains a couple more

But it's a shame that all my discs have been used up and all my emergency rations have been eaten
At times that weren't really emergencies I'll admit
But I was hungry
And that's an emergency enough for me

But it's okay
There'll be music enough at the next gas station
And maybe I'll have a banana or apple if I'm lucky but if I'm not I'll have some kind of fast food and that'll do me just fine until the next gas station somewhere along the line.

When the drunken night stumbles in at 2am I'll be waiting for it down in the kitchen
I'll wag my finger and yes I'll disapprove
But I'll quickly fall asleep for all the rides I haven't been hitching

And maybe I'll dream of home
But it doesn't matter anyway
Cause when I get up the next morning and start up the engine I'll have no rent to pay

And I regret that the last thing that I ate was a Twix
With all these miles to go before I sleep

And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep
