Cars
On the Road: A Rock Anthem for the Lonely Traveler
Lyrics
City to city we travel in vans from
City-to-city travel in vans, covering the East to the West Coast.
The east to the west coast
Exploring abandoned places during the journey.
To places abandoned
Ready to navigate small towns, searching for traitors and strangers.
We'll stalk through a small town
Willing to confront challenges in less populated areas.
For traitors and strangers
Being cautious and taking risks on the unsalted road.
The road is not salted
Embracing the uncertainty and dangers of the journey.
But we'll take our chances
Driving and observing the world from the van window.
We drive and take in this world from the window
Halting the journey, spending a day on the roadside.
We roll and move to the beat of an engine
Picking oneself up after setbacks and continuing the journey.
We stop, another day spent by the side of the road
Acknowledging that this challenging lifestyle isn't suitable for everyone.
Pick yourself up and continue to run
Highlighting the toughness of the journey.
This life is not for everyone
Following those who have experienced the journey before.
It's harder than you know
Recognizing the permanence of one's experiences.
Cheap hotels and couches
Expressing the commitment until the challenging lifestyle ends.
Have become a certain norm
Reiterating the routine of driving, observing, and moving to the engine's beat.
Follow those that can
Expressing the desire to leave but acknowledging the temporary nature of the situation.
Before you didn't pack away
Feeling the need to move forward despite the longing to stay.
Your chapter is forever
Repeating the cycle of watching cars and roads while being unable to stay indefinitely.
But until this stops
Recalling a farewell message and the wish for a safe return.
We drive, and take in this world from the window
Accepting the difficult path chosen and committing to it.
We run and move to the beat of an engine
Facing the consequences of the chosen lifestyle, watching cars pass by.
We stop, another day spent by the side of the road
Expressing the impossibility of staying in one place forever.
I can't stay here forever
Feeling isolated and alone on the journey.
Watching the cars go by
Emphasizing the solitude while watching the road unfold.
I can't stay here forever
Recalling a message of support and encouragement.
Watching the road wind down
Recognizing the difficulty of the chosen path and the need to endure.
And I'll remember what you said before I leave
Facing the reality of the decision made and embracing the challenges.
'Good luck and come home in one piece to me'
Acknowledging the tough journey and committing to it despite the hardships.
If this is what you could be killing
Expressing determination to endure difficulties even if it involves causing harm.
We made this decision
Acknowledging the deliberate choice to take the difficult path.
We're doing this the hard way
Emphasizing the commitment to face challenges head-on.
I can't stay here forever
Observing the passing cars and realizing the impossibility of permanence.
Watching the cars go by
Feeling the transient nature of the road while watching it unfold.
I can't stay here forever
Expressing the yearning for stability while on the move.
Watching the road as we
Driving, observing, and moving to the beat of the engine despite the challenges.
Drive, and take in this world from the window
Stopping and spending another day by the side of the road.
We run and move to the beat of an engine
Feeling the loneliness and isolation in the journey.
We stop, another day spent by the side of the road
Recalling the loneliness while watching cars go by and the road winding down.
You're just so fucking alone
Expressing a sense of profound loneliness.
