Well, she is just a broken girl Grinding out her nights with hopes of seeing the world Driving that truck to Oceanside just to lay like a cricket Fade into the night And I am just a lonely boy Been crawling out bars Trying to stay in the noise Chasing down Kerouac's American dream I've been chasing it now for far too long, it seems Far too long
We're both just lovers tangled up in blues We're both just lovers, so young and so confused Well, I ain't ever seen the Mississippi sunrise So darling, let's get in that truck tonight I bet we make it there in time
Cause he we're just two mad kids We're just running around this town trying to burn it down Trying to wreck our clothes and bottle the heat So we can chug it back down Scrape our dirty knees Cause we can still make believe We're anyone we want with whatever we need Well, tonight, I'll be Johnny If you like, baby, you be June
I whisper to you, "Hey there, honey I got some money tucked in this old jean jacket I got two suitcases begging to be filled So grab your bandanas Grab all your pretty things We'll pack them up just to leave them here And see what highway ninety brings"
So let's run away tonight We ain't got nothing left to lose Let's run away tonight We ain't got nothing left to lose So let's run away tonight We ain't got nothing left to lose Let's run away tonight Hell, we ain't got nothing to do
