Lyrics A Balladeer

A Balladeer

Plan B

So here's the plan: you take the car

And drive it down to somewhere south

I love the smell of tar that melts

But that is not important now

This is me believing

This is free America

This is me believing

We'll fool around and flip the bird

Fucked up on amphetamines

We'll share a drink and sing along

To a long forgotten evergreen

This is me believing

This is free America

This is me believing

Don't you try and save me

If God exists

Then maybe I don't want to know

I decided it's time to go

And somewhere on the open road

You stop but you keep the engine on

And I'll get out without a word

You just sit and watch me start to run

I'll make my way through corn and thorns

Straight until the sun goes down

I'll wake up to the sound of birds

Near a long forgotten town

Don't you try and save me

If God exists

Then maybe I don't want to know

I decided it's time to go

I'll cut my hair and grow a beard

I'll find a simple place to live

The job I'll get will pay the rent

The Texan sun will tan my skin

It will tan my skin
