Poet's highway Songtext

Poet's Highway (M. McDonald)

Well the world zips by with abrupt key changes
It flies apart and rearranges
Like a spider on the wall I get around
But man I'd love to see you in my hometown
Walking up my street with your cadence that's unique
Overshadow innocence with knowledge
The kind you don't pick up at college

All my rhyme schemes don't work sometimes
But you talk in poetry and you know that moves me
I'm so far down some poet's highway
And I am missing you I hope you're missing me too

Well boyish charm don't cut it no more
I got the devil knocking on my front door
I got a pregnant mind and I'm in labor
It may be a breach don't you do me no favors
There's a thought in there for you
And if you don't know what to do
Send your box tops in care of me
And if you come to the gig I'll let you in free

I've been up and down a busted ladder
It's broken and insane and I am madder
I've been through the valley of the shadow of death
Got to the other side only to find another test
But I'll bet you passed it too
If not I'll help you through
Coffee and cigarettes let's talk shop
We don't need emotional traffic cops
