lyrics

You’re as free as the rush hour traffic
Stuck away from where you wanna be…

We move so fast through the moment
Now all we’ve got here is this time…

Make the best of a bad situation,
some medication will help you to unwind
*You’re just tryin, to enjoy the ride…

Stopping off along the freeway
There’s a man there, standing - with a sign
His face tells a story of sadness and frustration
Looks like he’s had a real hard time
*And I wonder…what is "kind"?

Is it worth the trip? If we lay our burdens down
We could be so good, Right now

Verse: You’re as free as the rush hour traffic
Stuck away from wild or free

Go ahead and stare out the window
At the beer bottles bags and the trees

If we pull over to the river, let’s remember
to leave no trace behind
*learn how to spend every dime

Is it worth the trip? If we lay our burdens down
We could be so good. Right now

Your’re as free….
You’re as free…
