about

With an intro somewhat stolen from the great Blind Willie McTell this is a song about escaping the shit of every day life.

lyrics

E B
Well because I rode my bike all the way
A E
from Gothenburg city
E B E A E B
I never had but that one, one thin dime

E
Gonna give away all my things, except for this bike
A
and I'll ride away straight into the night
E B
and I'm never coming back to this god forsaken town

Tell my boss to shove it, tell the state I'm dead
I'll live on wild berries and this song in my head
You'll find me by the end of the road

Well everybody's at home alone watching TV
Eating dinner in the couch, but I know you can break free
Tonight there's a barbecue out on the street
Tomorrow the whole world lies to our feet!

E A
So freight train - come and take my worried soul away
E
I've been lying here watching the stars
B
but now I think it's time to set me own spark

You gotta pick a lot of cotton to smoke a cuban ceegar
gotta need them lot of money to drive a brand new car
but you wont need it to spend your whole life working hard

Sure I'll miss paying bills like I'd miss a gun to my head
I'll miss the toxic fumes like I miss being dead
I'll miss concrete
but these holes in my shoes will soon turn back into feet

E A
So freight train - come and take my worried soul away
E
I've been lying here watching the stars
B
but now I think it's time to set me own spark

E B A E
Well I rode my bike all the way from Gothenburg city
E B E
I never had but that one, one thin dime
