Swollen Members - High Road lyrics

It's a wonderful thought
That I could take one road
And end up in LA when it's time
To take a load off my shoulders
Cause it gets much colder
It rains in the winter
Where I live so I entered the I5
Just like this movie "Big
Trip" where five drive
Across the country as they
Journey through new realms
The helm of an adventure as
They capture it on film
A new millennium the mission is essentially
Questioning characters at the turn
Of the century
No rush cause they'll get there eventually
Kind of like my career
And mind state mentally
One route to follow, let's keep rollin'
Desperate junkies and Silverman
In New Orleans
Black Elvis, some scenes make you smile
An alligator wrestler that chills for a while
Hold up
Is that a manger at the side of the road
Hallucinogenics and ecstasy caps to
Lighten the load the high road
Not cause of the drugs you take
Cause of the memories you keep
And the friends you make

Bright lights
And neon streets that are beyond
My road's the high road
The one you should be on

The maiden voyage
Descriptions of millennial contact
Saved on footage
Ships of the street in the summer heat
When rubber meets the hot road
Southern rainfall
Weather and slang that change code
Highway patrol alcohol and Redbull
Mediums mixed with drugs natural and chemical
Immediate freak show plateau where
You land individual
Standing in the audience my
Mouth moves the visual
The difference that will separate
Mind from brain
Comes only with experience living on
The wide open plane
So focus on the questions and
The answers and the game
Incredible, the fast lane will
Have life flash
Unforgettable, as long as I've got my
Friends it's worth the pain
I've traveled the Earth I've fallen
And risen in flames
Driven to view the domain
From the perspective of the
Young and protected camera view overviews my
Objective overhead projective
Absorbs the milliseconds
Kilometers for reference
Speedometers will mark the entrance
We talk to residents who
Start sentence without reserve
I realize the things I don't need
All the things I don't deserve
So I try to live simply
In a complicated world

Broken down engines, cowboys and Indians

Black Jack gunfights saloons and women

Eagles vultures hawks and crows

Emergency exit at the hospital

Rattlesnakes scorpions and rodents

Ghost towns truck stops and stars explodin'

In the wide and open rules apply to no man

Die from a slow hand

Live from the low land
