Living The Dream On Rt. 66

I... Don't always know why... tears I cry
When... Huddled under a moving blanket
A... Lonely lost soul... I'd quietly pass by
Feeling... The cold tears they shed... silently fret...
I... Don't always know why... people walk by
Ignoring... Those who get lost... in the bottle
Tossing... At them a wave... as if they were a fly
Blindly... Walk by going no where... Full throttle...
News... Barking empty lies... 10sec of fame
A... Frozen body found... Three days later... News
The... Frozen one was an addict... A no name
No one cares... Sings a sad song... The blues...
How... Can one live the dream... On Rt. 66
How... Can one survive living... On empty hope
How... Can one live a life... With no chance
No chance to advance beyond... booze, dope...
Now... You know why... Tears I cry
Why... I buy bundles of hand warmers
Place... Them near the huddled... thick blankets
Hand warmers... Ameri-Mex Chili... I'll always try...
