lyrics
I been drivin’ route twenty-four
To a job that’s such a chore
I pass a man looks a lot like me
He’s surely got a hard luck story
I wonder how did he get there
As I see him in my rear view mirror
Somethin’ tells me he and I are the same
Walkin’ on a thin white line
Watchin all the cars go by
Hopin’ for a northbound ride
Down on the highway side
Hitchhikin’ route twenty-four
God I wish I knew what’s in store
A man passin’ looks a lot like me
Except he’s on easy street
I wonder how did he get there
As I see him in his rear view mirror
Somethin’ tells me he and I are the same
Walkin’ on a thin white line
Watchin all the cars go by
Hopin’ for a northbound ride
Down on the highway side
The slashing roots rock on “Out On the Line” always makes its way to the kind of triumphant chorus that quickens the pulse. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
