Tarkio Road

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Movin' on down the Tarkio Road Headed up to Crete, Nebraska Trying my best to set the highway on fire But my bicycle won't go no faster [Refrain] Tarkio Road is a mother It's just like oh so many others Well, the children reject you And the police inspect you Looking inside the trunk Under the hood, hoping to find The secret places where you Always keep your mind Whoa-oh-no, Tarkio Road [Verse 2] Abbie and Rubin lyin' in jail Learning about the price of bein' free Trying to live the Constitutional life And being held back by hypocrisy Carry the load, my brother You're just like oh so many others Ooh, the children reject it And the police inspect it You're tied to the chair Better cool it, bound and gagged Is that the ways on the American flag Whoa-oh-no, carry the load [Refrain] I'm singing Tarkio, Tarkio Road Tarkio, Tarkio Road Tarkio, Tarkio Road Tarkio, Tarkio Road If you're looking for some trouble You can find it on the Tarkio Road [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Twenty-four hours of barbed wire fence Fifty-five years of pollution Everyone knows how the puzzle was laid But can anyone recall the solution Tarkio Road is a mother It's just like oh so many others Where the people infect you But they never elect you No reason of cause that you may have perfectly sound The blind looker's gonna try and cut it down Whoa-oh-no, Tarkio Road [Outro] I'm singing again Tarkio, Tarkio Road Tarkio, Tarkio Road Tarkio, Tarkio Road Tarkio, Tarkio Road If you're looking for some trouble You can find it on the Tarkio Road
