Lyrics

American Freeway Blues
       (duet with Amy Penney)

From 'Still Traveling'

 

Traffic jam in Texas, pile-up in Philly
Sigalert in Reno as we speak
Be prepared to break, it's more than I can take
Got the American freeway blues again

Gridlock in L.A., every single day
It's the same in San Francisco Bay
Caution up ahead, I'm wishing I was dead
Got the American freeway blues again

Life is like a highway, so they say
Salvation might be a mile away

Roadwork in Des Moines,
there's a wreck in Illinois
Expect long delay in Delaware
No one seems to care, that we can't go nowhere
Got the American freeway blues again

Got the American freeway blues again.
I'll be passing through but I don't know when

Barricade in Boston, orange cone in Austin
Closing all the lanes in Santa Fe
No one passing through, nothing you can do
Got the American freeway blues again
