lyrics

One-hundred seventy miles to Chicago
I'll fight my eyelids all of the way
Stop in a rest stop near Kalamazoo
Crack open a Mountain Dew
Five months never felt so long
And with each week, the memories fade
The faces and names, and
One short weekend to try and get them back

[CHORUS]
I'm comin' home but I don't even live here no more
My bed's at the other end of I-94
And life's passing me on the right
And though I'd like to believe it'll be just like old times
It not quite as simple as a six-hour drive
And i'm not quite that naive, no
This highway can't take me home

The skyline relects the setting sun
The Sears Tower makes me smile
Like to pass it on the east side
But there's construction on Lakeshore Drive
Her plane won't get in until nine
And that gives me plenty of time
To see the parade and
Try to figure out what I'm going to say

[CHORUS]

The Kennedy joins up with the Edens
For Sunday, the traffic is still pretty bad
I fill up the tank near the Michigan line
Throw out the tissues on the passenger side
I can still taste her lip gloss
Think I'll be tasting it all of the way
'Til the memories fade, and
I figure out just where i am headed

I'm goin' home but I don't know where that is no more
My bed's at the other end of I-94
And life's passing me on the right
And though it was kinda fun to relive all those good times
It not quite as simple as a six-hour drive
And I don't know where i belong, but
This highway can't take me there

Juxtaposers Port Huron, Michigan

Juxtaposers had a heckuva lot of fun serving as the merry pranksters of Port Huron's folk and/or dive bar scene in the mid- aughts. They played what they felt like playing and managed to record one full-length album of their original material. We invite you to break out the silly hats and pour a tall cup of nostalgia for the days of martinis and day-old doughnuts. ... more
