Time has moved so fast
that we're not living in the 80's anymore
And all the friends I've gathered
along the way

have slowly started to disappear
One...by...One

And this old pattern
of moving from job to job
Is becoming a bore

So turn up the radio
and drive another 1000 miles

I'm still filling up this old backpack
with silver tins of sand
Each one labeled
from all the beaches I've been to

...So many different places

If you asked me where home is
I'd tell you I don't know

'Cause I've been to Albuquerque
Japan, and everywhere else
around this globe

I am a wanderer
My home is the road
Tommy Johnson Dec 2013
Get me a ticket flying cargo
Sweep me to Columbia, to Mexico
Desserts of ancient sands
Bring me enemies and friends
Take me in first class
And back again

Steal tears, take everything for me
Every need is a want, every want is a need
Riots at the embassy in Mexico
Carry on we’ve places to go
Take me by coach
You already know
Leonard Sine Sep 2012
what if we took
a secret trip
some place far away,
the two of us.

who cares where we go?
i do not need
to get away from anything;
i just want
something

something with you that
both of us will remember;
something great --
that only we know about.

Quilted maps attached with tape
Graph paper parachutes paper the room
The unknown is calling
Through 3 by 5 lens
These books brag the stories
That I’ve yet to live

— The End —
