Freeway Blues Lyrics
Tim Buckley
I never swallowed that cheap booze
I keep my distance from straight dudes,
I joined the army just to get more fame,
I love my bluesy cause she walks so strange,
Ah, well you know I think we ought to have a party,
Just to break up the day,
Come on and meet me on an easy exit,
Of our brand new freeway
Ive got the freeway its sublime rocket ship blues,
I got the tug boat high steppin starstudded blues,
I got the kite flyin double bubble sunday school blues,
I got the hotel bump and grind money makin blues
Ah, come on down and play in the traffic
And watch the cars go crazy
Well pull all over the starlight and disappear in the haze
Ive got the hot dog hanky pankin all night long blues
Ive got the cop car shoot out whistle pig blues
Ive got the rose bowl low tide lawn mower blues
Ive got the freewa dixieland rocketship blues;
I never swallowed that cheap booze,
I keep my distance from straight dudes,
I joined the army just to get more fame,
I love my bluesy cause she walks so strange
Yeah we oughta have a party
Yeah just to break up the day
Come on over cause I am high
Got to figure out which way to cruise
