Road Trip
Street Music
by Avendor
by Maddy Brown-Clark
There’s no nuclear war going on
and the jaguars of Peru are safe
and we’re driving through the California desert
with cold beers between our legs
There’s no insecurity about our spiritual condition
and we feel we’re good enough for anyone’s love
and we’re pulling over to a convenience store
for cigarettes and coca colas
And we’re looking forward to the future
as we head off into the night
because deep within the chambers of our hearts
we feel everything is going to be alright
The music of the streets
Is both bitter and sweet
Both freedom and desperation
Both sadness and elation.
Just another tip sir
And the street musician
Can get some smokes
And a cold bottle of coke
To wet his tongue
So he can sing his way
To a new home.
