On The Road With A Consortium Of Kooks

 

                                     Somewhere along I-24 between Buena Vista And Colorado Springs, in Colorado

No satellite radio,

                   That's for the rich folk

But that's alright, we struck gold at the treasure store

Two handfuls of used CD's purchased at .99 a pop

So we smile as we marvel at 

                              The soaring beautiful Rocky Mountaintops 

Amazed at how much good sing-along music 

                                             Can be purchased for ten bucks

Purple Mountain Majesties rise up all around

As we join in with the best of that 1980's College Radio sound

Mumbling along with the singer 

                            When we can't remember the words

Pretending to understand lyrics shouted out by the wailin' Westerberg

Cattle lazin' in the fields, horses hanging out near the fence

Hold on, was that "Wait on the sons"?

                               No way Dude he's clearly screaming "We are the sons"

Share a bit of trivia about Axel when he was still Bill in LA. Guns

Storm clouds hovering on the horizon

                      Like spacecraft waiting for the word to begin the invasion

Stop at a small gas station, get a soda and some chips

Man, prices in these parts are through the roof!

Should have loaded up on snacks on that last Costco trip

Beating out the rhythm to something funky by Big Audio Dynamite

                                                                           (1, not 2)

Impromptu perfect chorus, singing with Mick feels tight

                                                                           (That line that ends in "zoo")

Just a day out with friends 

Don't need a particular destination

The stuff of a dream you hope never ends

Simply being alive is enough for celebration

Don't need a particular destination

Simply being alive is enough for celebration

Simply being alive is enough for celebration
