STOCKYARD STOICS LYRICS

"Turnpike South"

Long time gone, hither and yon

Our last paycheck is spent (So what?)

Rice and beans, limited means

How we gonna pay the rent? (Oh shit!)

Get a job or two or three or four and never sleep

Sleep's overrated anyway and this hole we've dug is deep



But there'll be a new day

A time when everything's turning out okay

Loose strings tied up and debts paid

We'll have nothing to do



We'll walk through the streets of this town like we own them

Let the road lead where it may we will show them

Sun's gonna shine gonna hold our heads up high

We'll get by



We put 167,000 miles on that car

Along the way it didn't seem we'd traveled all that far

We took every scenic byway and stopped at every town of note

Now our engine has a rattle and the credit card is broke

And that's alright



Turnpike north, back and forth

Friday morning gone

Up and down and all around

These weeks are dragging on

Head gone rot and the weekend shot

It's creeping up on seven

But work's all done and if I run

I'm gonna catch the 8pm



It's a new day

Seems like everything's turning out okay

West wind blowing going my way

Bringing me home to you



I love her yeah she's the one

I love her and we're gonna have some fun

I love her yeah she's the one for me

She's the one for me

She's the one for me
