On The Road - Max Webster

On the road

The heart is slow

The mind is not clocked

The feet are sore

The hands and eyes are quick

To stop the world

On the road

Confirms something about yourself

Confirms something about your mold--some say it’s freedom

Freedom some say

Is when you get back home

Fights and rights

Embassies and fantasies

One street towns with stop lights

One stop streets with no towns--

I don’t need the patter

I don’t need assistance

To review the show…

I want to keep my pearly whites

I don’t want my shirts to keep a fit

I want a good steak once in a while

A checkered cab to go once in style--

Freedom some say

Is when you get back home

Howls of laughter

Sights and sounds

Movies and groupies

One day lover

Next day down--

I’d like to keep my pearly whites

And have a little stride in life…

I’d be sometimes late

I’d be sometimes early

And surely once in a while I’d like to be alone

One day aggressive

One day shy

One day permissive

One day sly…

On the road confirms something about myself

Confirms something about my storm--

Some say it needs freedom

Freedom some say

Is after the storm
