about

A politically incorrect, old-school road song. Remember when gas was cheap enough to waste? You don’t ever know how things will be.

lyrics

How Things Will Be
© 2009 by R. Bowdon

Gonna hit the road / gonna hit the highway
Headed toward I don’t know where
got some cash but I need some courage
Ain’t no one says it’s fair

Gonna step into that all night diner
eat my grits with a greasy spoon
I’m grindin gears and I'm burnin daylight
shootin’ past the moon

Gonna turn some gas / on into speed walk up
You don’t ever know / how things will be

Well now’s my chance to take up smoking / it’s a perfect time to drink and drive
Everybody’s got to die of something / keeping me alive
Ain’t nothing safe / ain’t nothing free walk up
You don’t ever know / how things will be walk down

So hand me down my silver plated / automatic carbine gun
Just in case there may be trouble / in case there may be fun

You got to be prepared / you got to wait and see walk up
You don’t ever know / how things will be
Gonna hit the road / gonna hit the highway
Headed toward I don’t know where.....
