I've been standing here waiting for the bus   on a Saturday, laundry on my back   ultraviolet rays like I'm posing for a shot   in a magazine what the hell does it mean?      I'm a travelling man straight from the can   I'm a thousand miles away from my number one fan   my folks are getting tight won't let me out at night   you can't avoid the complications   when there's no reason at all   when the right hand strikes we fly   i'll drink my beer i'll wipe my tears   southbound in the sky      another crime another reason gets you everyday   the only time that you can talk   you ain't got nothing to say   well I'm caught up in a stupid game   thai I can't play   it's just a waste of time but I'm in it anyway      i've been sitting here watching the signs   too many cars at night belching in the moonlight   we're doing ninety as the sky turns to grey   the people look like bees buzzing by the highway      the wheels are rolling like a rolling stone   alone I choose the road less traveled on      now I'm lying here waiting for the day   on the second deck   dreaming of a girl from a fairytale   chain around my neck   a ride is all it takes but pains get in the way      i'm a travelling man straight from the can   i'm a thousand miles away from my number one fan   my folks are getting tight won't let me out at night   you can't avoid the complications   when there's no reason at all   when the right hand strikes we fly   i'll drink my beer i'll wipe my tears   southbound in the sky      another crime another reason gets you everyday   the only time that you can talk   you ain't got nothing to say   well i'm caught up in a stupid game   thai i can't play   it's just a waste of time but i'm in it anyway      I'm in it anyway hey   i'm in it anyway
