Gas Station Bathroom
Journey of Self-Reflection: Gas Station Revelations
Lyrics
I look good in a gas station bathroom
I feel confident or look good in a gas station bathroom.
But I'm a bag of bones when I'm out too late
My physical state deteriorates when I stay out late.
And I'm fat as a science rat when I finally get time to contemplate
I feel overweight when I have time to reflect, like a fat science rat.
It's a toll that I take on my body
The toll of my lifestyle choices affects my body.
But I know it pays out in the end
I believe the toll pays off in the long run.
A little bit of sugar and that's all that it took her
A small gesture (sugar) was enough for someone to give up all their money.
To give up all she would spend
Someone made a significant sacrifice for a small favor.
I can't go home
I can't return home.
I can't go home
Reiteration that going home is not an option.
It's me in this gas station bathroom
I have a choice between the gas station bathroom and living with my mother.
Or living with my mama at home
I've made the choice to be in the gas station bathroom.
And that's a choice I make on my own
Emphasizes that the decision is independent and personal.
A hundred miles and still hitchhiking
I've traveled a hundred miles and still hitchhiking.
On a hot and a sunny day
Describes hitchhiking on a hot and sunny day.
When a friend pulled me over
A friend pulls me over with a hot motor.
With a real hot motor
Refers to a conversation with the friend who stopped.
I'll tell you what he had to say
The friend expresses frustration with driving.
He said, "I'm so sick of driving"
He's tired of the endless road.
He said, "I chased the road, it never ends"
His pursuit of the road seems never-ending.
I said, "That's good enough for some,
Acknowledges that the road is sufficient for some but not for him.
But beatable by none"
Claims that the road is unbeatable by none.
And let him on his lonely way
The friend continues on his way alone.
I can't go home
Reiterates the inability to return home.
I can't go home
Reiteration that going home is not an option.
It's me in this gas station bathroom
Choice between the gas station bathroom and home is emphasized again.
I can't go home
Reiteration that going home is not an option.
I can't go home
-It's me in this gas station bathroom
Choice between the gas station bathroom and home is emphasized again.
Me and I'm always alone
Emphasizes the solitude in the gas station bathroom.
