Episode Synopsis

it’s time to move
when you beg for your food
when it rains everyday
and turns to ice every night
and the sun came out to play
but he wouldn’t stay

the hell can i say
to get thru this day
without feelin’ broken n’ empty
the highways crisscross
for everyone who are headin’ somewhere
what if he ain’t [headin’ nowhere]
but still he’s out there
out on the interstate
drivin’ straight
from state to state
gettin’ up early
stayin’ up late
follows the red river
from san diego to boston
not realizing what it cost him
how many times he had to
learn where the bread aisle’s at
publix and kroger 
and von’s 
and stop n’ shop 
and qt and aldi
you feel me
how many first times
in the check-out lines
how many first nights in a new place
how many wakin’ up’s with yer familiar face
how many late night first dates
playin’ patty cake
with a new checkmate
closin’ in on me
knights and rooks and royals surround me
black n’ white-board a strategy
[to destroy me]
fuel up their ships
for chasin’ me high speed
across the sea…
