lyrics

The roof blew off the club in Oklahoma City
The fireman said, “the show can’t go on”
So we spent another night somewhere in New Mexico
Drinking until all our money was gone
We had a day to kill so we climbed up a mountain
Walked straight down the other side
Picked up a hitchhiker on the way back to Taos he said, “thank you boys for the ride”

If I could separate what’s real from what I’ve been dreaming
I could live to fight another day
If I’d have listened to my mom
When she said don’t be believing everything those writers say
There’s no line at the door and only 30 people bothered to advance pay
If I could separate what’s real from what I’ve been dreaming
I could live to fight another day

We unpacked everything and we set it all up to play 3 songs on a radio show
You never can tell if anyone is listening
And I guess it won’t kill us what we don’t know
So we play them just the same and we tell them our name
And where to find us on the computer screen
When we’re packing it up I hear Stu on the phone saying, “baby I’m living the dream”

We’ve got to sell 10 t-shirts or 20 cds to get from Stephenville to Houston town
There are people there who care a little about me
And you know they won’t let the poor boy down
Well its 5:29 Central Daylight time
When the 5 of us come strolling in
And its smiles all around because its 76 hours before we got to be leaving again
