All through Northern Oregon
Always by my side
Sleeping in those narrow beds
Then we'd ride
Drinking in those dirty bars
Keeping out of sight
Sleeping in that cold back seat
Then we'd ride
You know that damned road seemed like it went forever
Exhaust fumes made our eyes turn red and swell
With our clothes stuck to the seat and to our bodies
It was a stinkin' summer trip to southern hell
Eating carbonated crap
Churning up inside
Gas-soaked service station johns
Then we'd ride
ย
Silence in the front seat
Trying not to start a fight
Quiet, half-hid cryin'
Then we'd ride
You know you can grow to hate these little one horse towns
With seamy ruby houses long closed down
Nowhere to go but up and down that road
And nothing over there but the same goddamned town
'Nother sour coffee cup
One more piece of cardboard pie
Buy a tooth brush and a change of clothes
Then we'd ride
