Where I Roam

Kerouac's voice, "On The Road" on tape
Coyotes howl from across the lake
The lake she spoke, she spoke to me
As I walked out with her beneath my feet

I held my thumb to the open road
And a truck pulled up with a hitch and tow
She asked me "Boy, where do you wanna go?"
I told her about the place that I called my home

There's bus lanes and there's broken glass
Something in the water flowing from my tap
The needle in the gutter and the smell of gas
Where the stars don't shine and the earth is flat

Not a day goes by (not a day goes by)
Not a day goes by (not a day goes by)
Not a day goes by
Not a day goes by when I don't miss home

The city breathes smoke into me
And I'm losing count of the nights I don't sleep
I'm on my own but I don't feel free
'Cos these city streets just ain't the place for me

I miss the great green mountains and the big blue sky
Cicadas electric in the heat of the night
The silhouettes dancing 'round the campfire light
The Milky Way illuminates all the darkest skies

Not a day goes by (not a day goes by)
Not a day goes by (not a day goes by)
Not a day goes by
Not a day goes by when I don't miss home

I take a sip of sunshine and I let out a sigh
It's nice to take the time to watch the stars go by
I think back to the grass there on the other side
No matter where I roam I'm never satisfied

Woah, oh-oh woah-oh-oh wo-oah, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh woah oh oh oh
Woah, oh-oh woah-oh-oh wo-oah, oh-oh-oh
Woah, oh-oh woah oh oh oh
