They call me the roadburner

'Cause I'm driving day and night

People guess my name

But no one ever gets it right

Now the road becomes my mistress

How I love her sweet caress

She's the only one who listens

When I'm making sense

I never stop

Why did you just have to smoke me

Like I was your last cigarette

And the sad thing is I liked it

When you sucked me dry

I see a hobo eating roadkill

With a vulture by his side

Some say we live the life we earned

In former lives

I never stop

Why do you want to drag my body home?

Roadburner

You're a viper, you're a vixen

You're a goddess, you're a saint

Through the desert, in my half-dreams

All of which are so unreal

Every second on the highway

Every mile, you make me sweat

I'm your ashtray, I'm your lapdog

And I cannot understand

Why do you want to drag my body home?

Roadburner

Christ, I've finally found the fucking light

I con-fucking-fess that you were right
