about

All proceeds from this track will go to bailing people out of jail in San Diego and New Orleans who cannot afford to pay the bonds themselves, and so unjustly have a higher risk of contracting coronavirus.

lyrics

I can’t stop running around
I can’t stop running around
Got my head in the clouds and no roots in the ground
I can’t stop running around

I’ve got a girl in my pocket
Yeah I’ve got a girl in my pocket
If she goes through the wash then she’ll melt just like chocolate
I’ve got a girl in my pocket

One thousand miles to Wyoming
One thousand miles to Wyoming
Thought I’d drive to Cheyenne where not one person knows me
One thousand miles to Wyoming

2.89 for unleaded
2.89 for unleaded
Just fill her on up man, can’t tell where I’m headed
2.89 for unleaded

Red flashing lights in my mirror
Red flashing lights in my mirror
As they pass to the left, feel my conscience go clearer
Red flashing lights in my mirror

2.3 million in prison
2.3 million in prison
And the milk carton says Jesus Christ has gone missin’
2.3 million in prison

And I just keep running around
I just keep running around
Got my head in the clouds and no roots in the ground
I just keep running around
