Letra de Terre Haute
Driving past Terre Haute in the rain Black coffee and triptophane Another Thanksgiving Day on the road I ain't complaining I been home a long stretch just nowUp before the sun and on my way Oklahoma-Pittsburgh in a day Conversation with an old friend who Says that lately I ain't been such a good friendI'm just trying to stay awake on the road Maybe I should get some pie a la mode Nine hundred miles is a heavy load Black Beauties now would feel like goldI really like the smell of gasoline Makes me think of places that I've been Reminds me of a distant mountain scene Don't breathe it too much, it'll make you dreamI knew a girl once in Millersville I wonder if she lives there still Got no time 'cept to stop and fill Next time I surely willI'm just trying to stay awake on the road I'm losing control, heading for broke We're gonna shake it down, Shake it downWhen I get there I'm gonna get me a room Gonna take things out and look at them Maybe get me something nice to eat Later get myself a little treatI'm just trying to stay awake on the road I been flippin through the radio Fast-talking con men and cowboy songs Preachers telling me to come alongAll I wanna do is stay awake Jack With the wind still blowin and the night so black Black like the coffee in my coffee cup Stir it up, stir it upI knew these sisters once in Bloomington It's been years since I thought of them I wouldn't know how to find them now I forgot their names anyhowI'm just trying to stay awake on the road Maybe I should get some pie a la mode Nine hundred miles is a heavy load Black Beauties now would feel like gold
