Driving 3 hours every weekend sucks. The toll builds on you, even if you don't realize it. I think part of it never left me. But still I go on.

Lyrics:

Up the ante now!

Traveling now, another 3 hours to go,
Me and I-40, black skies and grey roads,
Yellow lines flashing by make me feel more alone,
The faces that I left, smiling 'cause I was home

Up and down the mountain, swirvey swirve through the path
I'm dreading the return, all I can do is laugh,
Distracted by the dim lights from a far off town
If I turned off my own, would I even make a sound?

STOP

Telegram, get on the best that you can
Understand; let go of melodrama's hand
Damn them for their thoughts, damn you for your own,
You made the choice long ago, can you make this a home?

I roam, watching the markers come and go,
Screaming in the car, Overkill on the stereo
"Rotten to the Core", this is how it goes
When the weekend comes again and I travel these roads.


Two Thousand Seven, I took what I was given,
A decent job offer, a chance to hack the Gibson
Didn't feel like a choice, fresh from the college scene
I thought it was the only option I had left to me

So I took it and I booked it; I began my mission
To a small town with an smaller frame of vision.
Realized soon it wasn't what it cracked out to be
Kept at it 'cause I need experience on the scene

Two Thousand Nine, curled on the floor all the time
Support Calls at 3 AM, passing out on the line
Dreading every moment, regrets are all I had,
Dealing with the loss, I still miss you the most Dad.

Still I travel these roads, hoping it'll make sense
On the weekend, see my friends, gone is all the stress
Come back to my room; it's waiting there for me,
Eagerly, hatefully, the mantra chimes constantly


Everything will be alright and
Everything will be alright and
Everything will be alright and
Everything will be alright and

Everything will be alright and
Everything will be alright and
Everything will be alright and
Everything will be-- Tell me

Everything will be alright and
Everything will be alright and
Everything will be alright and
Everything will be alright and

Everything will be alright and
Everything will be alright and
Everything will be Tell Me
Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me

[Repeat for next part]

I once tried to make this place my own,
But the magnetism resisted; kept me alone
Pushing me further back than I'd ever care to be,
I'll make it back to the place where I felt free

You can think I'm crazy in this economy,
But I know where I belong, what I truly need
And I can't hear the ring from this dull locale
I'm going back on the road, I'll find it somehow.

Two Thousand Ten was when finally I started living again.
