He's passing up the fruit and traps He his money for convenient-store coffee, smokes, and gas Knows a way and has the will of his He says, "This time things are be different" "This time I'm do as I pleases" He signals right on a exit That ol' time warp into view He said, "I'll have the 99-cent And coffee to wake the dead" And hands a sticky menu The calls him "honey" My God, she must've worked All her And he missing home 'Til he remembered why left, Sat back and his sights And he The world to hold him like a Never treat him like a He his tears are some big secret The one kept by the night at night So he picks a dream--any it for a while then says, "It's just not me" "No, I'm not running.
