Saves The Day – Kerouac & Cassady lyrics

[Verse 1]
Saturday night in a stranger's car
To an after show at a purple bar
700 long-lost friends and first avenue stars
Friday flying at 4 AM in an indigo sky
With Houdini's twin
Six months into a crisscross zig-zag tour

[Chorus]
Come on, let's go
Let's get lost
Climb in a big black van
On the road again
Come on, let's go
We're taking off
Playing our favorite songs on the radio

[Verse 2]
Thursday sailin' on 8 miles high
A Caribbean Sea where penguins fly
Groundhog Day on a loop on a five hour flight
Wednesday sleepwalk around backstage
When 10:10 flashes in neon green
Drown in silver light before a four hour show

[Chorus]
Come on, let's go
Let's get lost
Climb in a big black van
On the road again
Come on, let's go
We're taking off
Playing our favorite songs on the radio

[Bridge]
Thursday lost in city streets
Find four-leaf clovers where highways meet
Three detours later, U-turn at a yellow light
Monday swing from a chandelier peeling oranges
Drinking American beer
Two floors down get caught in a revolving door

[Outro]
Sunday drive to the next airport
One oxblood boot on a black dashboard
20 years into a lifelong endless tour
