Quarters And Dimes

Diners on the shoulders of the roads
Tattoos on the backs of all them places that i know
Everytime I think I´ll settle down
The wind pick up my bags and keeps me wandering where I´m bound

Quarters and Dimes is all i´ve got to show
For days and nights and dust and lights alone
I know that I ain´t never gonna be
No Polaroid pictureboy of your dreams

But from what i´ve seen
I need a change of scene
Right on the heels of a quick dream turning circles inside my head
My nights so real, my days so foreign
Kicking round them hotels beds
Neon Skies and vacant signs lead me to the edge
I just close my eyes and I chase the road ahead

One more cup of coffee if you please
They ask you every morning through the newspapers they read
You ain´t never gonna travel far
But you fill them cups and warm ´em up with the soul beneath your broken heart

Now that´s a start

Chorus:
Right on the heels of a quick dream turning circles inside my head
My nights so real, my days so foreign
Kicking round them hotels beds
Neon Skies and vacant signs lead me to the edge
I just close my eyes and I chase the road ahead

I´ll cast my leather and bones down a rattlesnake road
I´ll pack my bags but I wish I didn´t have to go
Baby toss them Quarters and Dimes down a deep old well
Ain´t nothing so free as beeing lost between heaven and hell

Chorus:
Right on the heels of a quick dream turning circles inside my head
My nights so real, my days so foreign
Kicking round them hotels beds
Neon Skies and vacant signs lead me to the edge
I just close my eyes and I chase the road ahead
