about

i wrote this song while driving in the country. this was the first one me and phil did. basically a sloppy 12 bar blues.

lyrics

on the road that's running in the rain
splashing up on sewer drains
on the road that's running in the rain
where strobeing snap shots shine through your brain, it's so strange

make the road seem rampid with rage
remember the streaks on the window are just rain
believe in the lights that are lighting your lane
and remember red and green will always change

with a glazed gaze in a haze
i was unfazed passing corn field graves
everyday in the same old daze
forever locked those rock they now are paved

on the road that's running in the rain
slow goes in this headlight show
on the road that's running in the rain
where round and round and round we go
round and round and round we
but slow it goes in headlight show
