lyrics

we packed my mom’s car and we got on the road
we had a trip-tick told us where to go
out west to Pittsburgh and Chicago
up to Wisconsin to my uncle’s home

we blew our cigarettes
out our open windows
raised the volume till we were deaf

we said,
we are going somewhere
but we’re not there yet

we crossed Wyoming to Yellowstone
swam in a river on the side of a road
we slept the three of us in a tiny tent
we made a fire, got totally bent

we made it to the coast
and we stripped off all our clothing
got high and made a toast

we said,
we are going somewhere
but we’re not there yet

back east through Utah we started to crack
we said some dark things we couldn’t take back
atop the canyon we felt too small
all our momentum had slowed to a crawl

we missed our own clean beds
but no one would admit it
no, we pounded on our chests

we said,
we are going somewhere
but we’re not there yet

then finally reaching home
we didn’t feel we were ready
had so much left to go

we said,
we are going somewhere
but we’re not there yet
