about

If you've ever been broken down on the side of the road, you know the feeling. This song takes back the ownership of "how we got here", asks the listener to join in figuring out why it keeps happening (with the help of a friend).

Written on an ukulele in a broken down van in a Value Village parking lot in Seattle, WA

lyrics

I'm stuck on the side of the road
Nowhere to go but home
And no way to get there
Spent my last dollar last night
Figured that I'd be alright
But now I'm stuck out here in nowhere
ooooooh


And if I had one more problem I just might not get by
But I have been here before and I'm too tired


I'm too tired to hear you told me so I won't admit
I'm in this same old situation
And I can't keep crossing my fingers
Tellin' myself I can't help it


When I'm stuck on the side of the road
Glad I'm not too far from home
Suppose I could start walking
Could get there by morning
It's been three long days I've been gone
Thought I learned my lesson but this one, I got it all wrong ooooooh
And if I had one more problem I just might not get by
But I have been here before and I'm too tired to cry
You've gotta find out what it is you want before you die


But if you find yourself mixed up in trouble and pain
If you find yourself back on that highway again
Put on your jacket, call up a friend
Figure out why this keeps happening


I'm too tired to hear you told me so I won't admit
I'm in this same old situation
And I can't keep crossing my fingers
Tellin' myself I can't help it
No I won't keep tellin' myself I can't help it
When I'm stuck on the side of the road
