lyrics

When I grow up I want to be
Traveling with you next to me
With bad tattoos and a calloused throat
We’ll be singing to keep ourselves afloat
And we’ll play wherever they’ll take us in
I’ll play guitar, you play mandolin
And when the barman puts away the seats
We’ll take it out onto the streets
Like we used to when we were twenty-one

And on Tuesdays we’ll go to the laundromat
With the money that we collect from the hat
Jam the coins into the washing machine
Rinse and spin, extra dirty, cold wash clean
And as we wait for our clothes to dry
I’ll sing for you a lullaby
You can rest you weary head on my lap
I’ll drive tonight you just take a nap
In the backseat, because baby I’m alright to drive

We must have traveled this Pacific Highway
A thousand times by now
But every time I do I notice something new
And I’m not ready yet to settle down
With the house and kids and debt
I hope I never ask myself the question
Has my life even started yet?

And we’re holding hands on the side of the road
Superglue, I hope it never gets old
It’s raining hard and we’re broken down
Waiting for a tow to the nearest town
But I don’t really care about the inclement weather
I just want to make sweet music together
Traveling the coast without a destination
Even if we are without transportation
We’ll catch the train home
Wherever that may be tonight

We must have traveled this Pacific Highway
A thousand times by now
But every time I do I notice something new
And I’m not ready yet to settle down
With the house and kids and debt
I hope I never ask myself the question
Has my life even started yet?
