Forward To Lonely Lyrics

Driving down the highway

In a Pontiac Grand Prix

I'm leaving everything behind

That haunted me

With every mile marker that I pass

I'm getting just a little more free

I turn the radio on

But there's no station

I'm in a no man's land

Of perfect desolation

I am in a climbing lane

When I begin to hear

Dissonant frequencies collide

Almost nothing is clear

At the top of the hill

I'm encircled by the voices

It's like a redneck mashup

Of all my bad choices

I get a snippet of truth

From Paul Harvey

While Cheap Trick is singing

I want you to want me

Strange frequencies are blending

Voices scream at their conception

It all starts to make sense

It alters my perception

How do we know

Who we should trust

How do we find the place

Where enough is enough

The voices all feed me

Mounds of double meanings

While the music serenades me

With deep conflicted feelings

But I'm lost in translation

This is my last vacation

I'm like a shark in the ocean

In continuous motion

I'm not stopping until all the memories fade

Please forgive me for

The bad decisions I have made

I'm turning the dial

Trying to find a station

No excess baggage

For my redneck vacation

The past is in the past

The future isn't here

I'm living in the present

But things are not as they appear

The voices that I hear

The music that I fear

I need a reservation

To reach my final destination

Blinded by the headlights

Nothing's clear ahead

I haven't got a future

And I'm not quite dead

Discard the excess baggage

That does not fit in the trunk

If there is a new tomorrow

It gonna be without this junk

The air-conditioner's broken

But the windows still act right

I'll just avoid the Texas heat

By driving through the night

Don't need electric navigation

I'm reconnoiter by the stars

All I need is this here radio

And a couple of guitars

I've got a few guitars

Driving down the highway

In a Pontiac Grand Prix

Leaving everything behind

That haunted me

With every mile marker that I pass

I'm getting just a little more free

So I sold a little plasma

To get the money to fix this car

Put some air in these old tires

Now the car is gone

And the only thing that's left

Are some skid marks in the dirt
