Road Buddy Video (MV)

We passed the stores, passed the hotels, filled our car with gas and then
We drove that night, I saw the moon, almost got us in an accident
And then at the rest stop, when that woman tried to steal my wallet
It felt like an adventure, well isn't that what you would call it?
Isn't that what you would call it?

You're my road buddy, but I'm lonely all the time
I thought that we'd be joking, having long talks on late nights driving
But you drive so bad I lost my patience
So pass the chips and turn the station
This is not a romance with the road

From where the moss grows up the trees to where the dirt is rusty red
I thought we'd find each story like a snakeskin or an arrowhead
But we only stop at fast food places, they hate their jobs, I understand
I try to act familiar but they're floating just above the land
And we are floating

You're my road buddy, but I'm lonely all the time
I thought we'd show that friendship could be stronger than the crossroads devil
But I thought I heard the toll man saying
"I'll take that thing you got from praying"
This is not a romance with the road

And those cliffs are the same as in the magazines I have at hom
And the tall grass reminds me of the same dreams I had at home
I thought life was a road so I wanted to begin it
I said "My friend and I are going on a trip, so I can only stop a minute."

You go to the vending machines, I want to watch those kids with their mother
Sipping on their juice boxes and smiling at each other
And maybe that's their Dad on the phone, saying "Hey, Mom, youshouldn't wait,
Go ahead, have dinner cause we're running just a little late,
But we're on our way."

How 'bout it, road buddy, road buddy
I heard about the box cars and the family of travellers
But there's real estate signs in the cornfield stubble
I know there's love, I bet there's trouble
But you just can't span a lifetime from the road
And there's something I've finally faced, I finally think I come from someplace
But this is not a romance with the road
