Fork In The Road lyrics

I read the news today oh, boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, i just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the house of lords

I saw a film today oh, boy

You know she needs attention
So take her for a ride
(You gotta get behind the wheel) She loves to go around anywhere
(In the morning and drive) Anytime that you decide
(You gotta get behind the wheel) In the morning and drive
You gotta get behind the wheel

You know she loves those long slow curves
So take her for a spin
(You gotta get behind the wheel) She always wants to please you

It's all about my girl
It's all about my dream
And my machine
It's all about my world

(Cough up the bucks) (Cough up the bucks)
(Cough up the bucks) (Cough up the bucks)
(Cough up the bucks) (Cough up the bucks)
(Cough up the bucks) (Cough up the bucks)

Where did all the money go
Where did all the cash flow
Where did all the money go

(Cough up the bucks) (Cough up the bucks)

Got a pot belly,
It's not too big
Gets in my way
When I'm driving my rig

Driving this country
In a big old rig
Things I've seen
Mean a lot

Friend has a pickup
Drives his kid to school
Then he takes his wife
To beauty school

Now she's doin' nails
Gonna get a job
Got a good teacher

There's a fork in the road ahead
I don't which way I'm gonna turn

Fill her up!
Fill her up!
Fill her up!
Fill her up!

Her engine's running and the fuel is clean
She only uses it 'cause she's a machine
She don't use much though, just to get around

(Keep filling that fuel line) (Keep filling that old fuel line)
(Keep filling that fuel line) (Keep filling that old fuel line)

The awesome power of electricity
Stored for you in a giant battery

She looks so beautiful, with the top down
Let's jump inside and take a trip to town

(Let's hit the road) Let's make some miles and spend a little time
(And go to town) And when we get there we'll stop our only dime

(Let's hit the road) And go to town
(Let's hit the road) And go to town

On the freeway in the middle of the commute
Bumper to bumper in a giant cloud of fumes

Johnny Magic had a way with metal
Had a way with machines
One day in a garage far away
He met destiny
In the form of a heavy metal Continental
She was born to run on a Proud Highway
Then the whole world started running out of money
People losing their jobs
Right here in Wichita
Wichita
The home of the heavy metal Continental
Where the Motor-Head Messiah was tuning the system in

You can play my guitar

See it where it'll go

Send this song

To a distant star

While the rhythm explodes

Just singing a song

Won't change the world

You can drive my car

Feel how it rolls

Feel a new energy

As it quietly rolls

Just singing a song

Won't change the world

Just singing a song

Won't change the world

Just singing a song

Won't change the world

Instead of cursing in the darkness,
light a candle for where were goin,
thereâs something ahead, worth fighting for,

when the light of time is on us, you will see our moment come,
and the living sole inside will carry on,

Itâs a chance to give new meaning to every move we make,
In the cavern, in the cave, where weâve come from

Instrumental

When the day is done
And the sun is sinking low
When you see the light
When you been most everywhere

You go
You go

When the traffic's slow
Break lines lined up for miles and miles
And you know the end is not in sight
You can never take your rides

Off the road
Off the road

When you're all alone
And you've been driving through the night
And you know the end is not in sight

You can play my guitar
See it where it'll go
Send this song
To a distant star
While the rhythm explodes
Just singing a song
Won't change the world

You can drive my car
Feel how it rolls
Feel a new energy
As it quietly rolls
Just singing a song
Won't change the world

Just singing a song
Won't change the world
Just singing a song
Won't change the world

Taking a trip across the USA
Gonna meet a lot of people along the way
Far and Wide
Floating along on the Rio Grande
Coca Cola in my hand
In the promise Land
Living my days in the old jail cell
Somehow things just go to hell
When worlds collide

Love is love
Hate is hate
Truth is fiction
And late it late
Truth is fiction
Truth is lies
Strange things happen
When worlds collide
