Lyrics

Stepping out of the apartment on a cool autumn night
I could take this walk forever
And never break stride
As long as there’s a sidewalk
Just me and you
The buildings may crumble
The city streets remain our pew

No, I don’t have a car for drivin’
I stay in my zip code
Feel like I’ve traveled the world
And baby, you are my road
Not the road to recovery…
Riches…
Or the Final Four
You’re the road to my true meaning
Life has given me the store

We arrive at the restaurant
The back table’s reserved
Two women at the bar give me the eyes as I turn
They get the “thanks, but no thanks” smile from me
There’s no need for a save
When I look straight at you
The only road my mind and body would pave

No, I don’t have a car for drivin’
I stay in my zip code
Feel like I’ve traveled the world
And baby, you are my road
Not the road to recovery…
Riches…
Or the Final Four
You’re the road to my true meaning
Life has given me the store

Sun rises up in the city
I got a client on the phone
He says I’m yellin’, but I ain’t yellin’
He’s beyond crawfish cray
Taking abuse is part of this job
But the paycheck keeps us here together, lets us repeat yesterday
But the paycheck keeps us here together, lets us repeat yesterday

No, I don’t have a car for drivin’
I stay in my zip code
Feel like I’ve traveled the world
And baby, you are my road
Not the road to recovery…
Riches…
Or the Final Four
You’re the road to my true meaning
Life has given me the store

You’re the road to my true meaning
Life has given me the store
