about

We ran away at 16 never looking back.
The road taught us all we needed to know.
But now we've grown up and got old,
And the memories we made turned asphalt to gold.

lyrics

The day I turned 16 I bought a tank of gasoline and I hit the road.
A Karauac’s skeleton key,
adventures that were calling to me,
man I had to go.
You were all alone, duffle bag in tow.
A similar soul, from long ago

We headed south on 95,
your heavy foot and my eagle eye, we didn’t pay no tolls.
Set cruise on the centerline, the Fillmore West in 69,
freewheeling and stoned.
As wheels did roll, my heart was stole, no longer alone.
My heart took control. As ever is so… on the road

You were a rebel with a punk attitude,
day dreaming about your next tattoo, impulsive and bold.
You were wild with a hole in your sleeve,
a raconteur with a story to weave, misquoting Rousseau.
Yeah, that’s all we know. How time moves slow… until you get old.
Then time turns to gold. As ever is so…. On the road

Now instead of wheels we ride a rocking chair,
and sit and bitch about our Medicare while I drink and you sow.
Lost in thoughts about our younger
days when a dream could set the world ablaze,
and we could pick up and go.
Now all we know is that time moves slow,
until you get old. Then time turns to gold
As ever is so, on the road.
