A Melancholy Trip Down the Highway

The ride down the highway isn't always sugar and roses. But sometimes it gets us through the day.

Sitting in your chair so calmly

Waiting for the energy rush

That you know isn’t gonna come

Cause you are all doped up

And the only sound you hear

Is some old rock and roll song

Playing in your ear

All you hear is some old rock and

Roll song playing in your ear

But that’s ok, cause it isn’t Flatt and Scruggs

That’s ok it isn’t a country song that someone else loves

It’s a rock and roll song you hold dear

And it’s playing in your ear

And you notice then that though you’re less than lucid

You at least can make the words out clear

Of some old rock and roll song you have playing in your ear.

It’s the Stones

Singing Mama’s Little Helper

And you laugh out loud cause

You realize it’s time for your next dose

And you realize that even though you’re

Sitting in your recliner chair

Your phone in hand but no one’s there

And you’re listening to your favorite rock

And roll song

And you start to sing along.
