lyrics

Driving back from tour
Road is humming
Harmonies with the tape deck
Skyline's purple promise
Clouds accumulate
When will we be heading out again?
I miss my new friends
Will they remember me in the spring?
I don't know
But I hope so

In rotation
Tires and friends wear out
I need a spare
And I'm losing all my hair
So I guess I've made my choice
For another year
But after that it's nice to know I'm not tied down

I can roll around
Find more even ground
I can roll around
Find more even ground
I can roll around

Flashing lights tell me I'd better hurry
I'm gonna strip down, embrace New Jersey
Or some other state with a livable minimum wage
I've got debts to pay, but no promises to keep
I could leave it all behind and not lose sleep
While the headlights and stressed out deadlines keep me awake
Oh flashing lights tell me I'd better hurry
I'm gonna strip down, embrace New Jersey
Or some other state, with a livable minimum wage
I'm way too young to afford to be acting my age
Yeah I'm way too young to afford to be acting my age
