Midnight Lorry - Dispatch

I walk down the road looking for my tribunal

Like Tom and Huck stumbling down the aisle of their own funeral

Please goddess of the road, get me on my way

You see my love just left me so I’m on my own

And my heart’s banged up looking for a foster home

The highway moon is getting me dizzy

I see a mirage of medusa

A top of an Appaloosa

What I wouldn’t do to be with you and your caboosa

Whispering to Mr. Beck now who’s the real loser

Here come again the midnight Lorry

I think I might be moving along

There’s a lot of places I got to get to

I know you’re out there but I never even met you

Take me to the land of no worry and then I‘ll just keep playing this song

Mr. Driver I hear the music playin' and I see the lights

Will you throw me a ride?

A pretty young thing ushers me back to the rear

I haven’t been many places and I definitely haven’t been here

To think I was just a lonely soul in the cold with my thumb out

Now I’m rolling a smoke and being told to stick my tongue out

We bounced and blared and so did the Lorry

She teased my hair and held me close with a story

Of ragtag visions as the moonlight poured in

Second star to the right and straight on til' morning

Here come again the midnight Lorry

I think I might be moving along

There’s a lot of places I got to get to

I know you’re out there but I never even met you

Take me to the land of no worry and then I‘ll just keep playing this song

Mr. Driver I hear the music playin' and I see the lights

Will you throw me a ride?

Looking at her face was like looking at the sun

She said you can’t ask of everybody what you don’t ask of one

Either way, we got today and that’s all we may be allowed

I know that if we hold it together

There’s real love we can bring about

Here come again the midnight Lorry

I think I might be moving along

There’s a lot of places I got to get to

I know you’re out there but I never even met you

Take me to the land of no worry and then I’ll just keep playing this song

Mr. Driver I hear the music playing and I see the lights

Will you throw me a ride?

Here comes

Here comes

Here comes

Here come again the midnight Lorry

I think I might be moving along

There’s a lot of places I got to get to

I know you’re out there but I never even met you

Take me to the land of no worry and then I’ll just keep playing this song

Mr. Driver I hear the music playing and I see the lights

Will you throw me a ride?

Here comes

Here comes

Here comes

Here comes

Here comes

Here comes
