gas station food

I miss gas station food
and roads I've never been down
I don't mean to be rude
but I hate just hanging around
waiting for things to happen
waiting for my life to begin
waiting for fingers a-snappin'
waiting for a loser to win

I miss wide open country
and old dogs in the yard
from where I can see,
all living is hard
I want to be in the sunshine
I want to live on the land
I want a chance of what's mine
I want to be who I am

          to live in this city
          is getting pretty old
          I'm tired of doing
          whatever I'm told

I miss talking to strangers
and flirting with girls
I don't feel in danger
when I'm exploring the world
I need to be with the living
I need all the dreams that I own
I need to be more forgiving
I need to find somewhere
that I can call home

I miss gas station food
and roads I've never been down
I don't mean to be rude
but I hate just hanging around
