lyrics

I traded my truck for the Appalachian Trail, now my home's just a place where they send my mail.

Forsyth, MO's where I got my stripes, skateboarding all day and drinking all night. Got beat up by the bullies, the small-town kind whose bodies grow faster than their small-town minds. Taney Country syndrome and substance abuse makes you live all your life like you got nothin' to lose. And I remember thinking that the future looked dark when we dropped all that acid in Shadow Rock Park.

Joined the Marines when I was 18, but they threw me out because I couldn't get mean. So I started drifting and I drifted back home, met a girl from California, made plans for the coast. Last Winter in town we froze for months. We drank to stay warm and we drank to stay drunk. And I remember thinking that the future looked bright when we dropped all that acid at 625.

Woke up driving, I was driving back home. California broke my heart, and she bruised my bones. Ended up crashing with some old school guys. We woke up drunk and we went to bed high.

And I traded my truck for the Appalachian Trail. Now my home's just a place where they send my mail. And now I'm thinkin' that Wisconsin sounds good. I ain't restin' 'til I'm sleepin' in them Northern woods.
