It’s Almost Christmas In Philly

You say "the worst part of the driving is over" Even though it has only begun This adventure we have embarked upon Off to a good start The mid-west in mid-December Is colder than I could have imagined But one can bare it with a worthy companion We're overtired, but we'll manage As gas station caffeine is our fuel We're setting forth with our baggage It's both emotional and literal In this hire car, we're on the right side Though it feels wrong Plug my phone in to play a folk song, it seems We came to look for the American dream Without realising It's almost Christmas in Philly They really go all out with these lights This dense and decorative city Is buzzing with suspense as it will soon be draped In white Run down so we fake 'til we feel wide awake Long days longer nights on this road cloaked in ice I sense you were stung But I hope you can come to see And know that you can lean on me You say she broke your heart You turned to art to ease the aching She felt her mind was ever-changing, it all Didn't play out in the way that you thought Nor the way you'd want I know your wounds are still inflamed It's in the way you say her name out loud But I have faith that it won't be too long Until someone who'll take you as you are will be Coming 'round Pitstops in ghost towns, see the landscape that surrounds Turn gold in the light of the evening In spite of hours travelling, time is rapidly passing us by my friend And I'd do it all again though run down But we fake 'til we feel wide awake Long days longer nights on this road cloaked in ice I sense you were stung, but I hope you have come to see And know that you can lean on me (My biggest fear would be that We get stuck in snow after a show On the way to middle of Fing Nowheresville Kentucky I literally said those words It's happening)
