about

It's a ballad about a road trip. I wish I could hear Johnny Cash sing this song.

lyrics

Heart Busted Interstate (IHB)
By: Jason M. Renslow

She likes to pour her beer in two-liter bottles
Buys cards and forgets to send 'em, but she's trying to be more thoughtful
I drink instant coffee, I smoke American tobacco
Someday I will quit this, but it gets me where I go
She'll tell me that she's not the type who usually stops for hikers
She looks like she's the type who usually goes for bikers
For some reason she stopped for me, I can always wonder what she did see
I stepped up into that Chevy truck, the Bob Seger playing quietly

She says it's hard to believe in the human population
When we consider our own situations
And when you ride along that endless interstate
It's hard not to wonder if you believe in fate
And the ghosts of our pasts, well they're haunting the every mile
I see the glow of hope in her eyes meanwhile
In this broken, busted, burned out and beaten world

Somewhere down in Tennessee she left a broken heart
The expectations of that man meant they had to live apart
She put out the story as the miles gone and chipped away
And we'd share rooms in cheap motels when it came to the end of the day
All I mostly did was listen on stools in truck stop diners
Sometimes she'd stop and apologize, but I'd say that I didn't mind her
By the time we got to San Fran I was used to her on my arm
But, she left and said she never keeps in touch 'cause then the road would lose it's charm

Oh, it's hard to believe in the human population
When you consider your own situation
But when you ride along on that endless interstate
It's hard not to wonder if you believe in fate
And the ghosts of my past, well they're haunting the every mile
I remember the glow of hope in her eyes meanwhile
In this broken, busted, burned out and beaten world
