we were driving that time
for hours stacked on hours
through some god forsaken
desolate swamp country
heading straight west
across the bible belt
kathleen edwards was whining
through the speakers
your left hand on the wheel
fingers wrapped around my thigh
passing trucks and lonely men
lingering side by side
I think I asked why people never
move like they have a purpose
as if there was a destination
somehow more important
