these wheels will roll
as long as this feels new
and i won't go home
until this job is thru
but these nights alone
they make me think of you
so i'll hold on to the words that i just can't say
the static on the line says you're further away
than I can drive tonight
well there’s fighting in the streets of charleston
and there's drinking down in new orleans
but tonight i'm sleeping in my van in richmond
just trying to keep myself clean
chelsea whatcha gonna do when i need you?
honey whatcha gonna do when i'm down?
'cause i won't fall apart if you wont pick me up
do you still want to keep me around?
i wish you well
i wish you everything and more
i wish you well
as you're walking out my door
i wish you well
i wish you everything and more
i wish you well
waiting for a sign that never shows
warm bottled beer and a bloody nose
and the waitress in the corner with the old tattoo of jesus
she said, "you won't believe this, but it's time to go."
i wanna catch a train to mexico
wanna listen to the radio in a language that i don't understand
i wish you well
i wish you everything and more
i wish you well
as you're walking out that door
i wish you well
i wish you everything and more
i wish you well
i wish you well
