[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Dusty winds hum through the wheels,
Three fools laugh at the highway’s squeals,
A guitar strums in the backseat haze,
Violin cries where the desert lays.
One’s got a map turned upside down,
One swears we’re lost but wears the crown,
The third just grins, strumming out of tune,
Chasing the moon, howlin’ at the noon.
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re the idiots of the interstate,
Broken brakes and a rusty fate,
Strings of hearts in a junk-car choir,
Violin spikes set the prairie on fire.
[Verse 2]
Wrong turns led to a midnight lake,
Flat tire dreams in the rattlin’ wake,
Guitar strings snap, but the fiddle won’t bend,
Three voices crack, then harmonize again.
We traded sense for a sunrise view,
Ate cold beans from a busted stew,
The road’s a joke, and we’re the punchline,
But the stars don’t mind our crooked line.
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re the idiots of the interstate,
Broken brakes and a rusty fate,
Strings of hearts in a junk-car choir,
Violin spikes set the prairie on fire.
[Bridge]
Campfire smoke wraps the canyon’s throat,
We sang off-key till the engine wrote
A ballad of gears and gasoline,
Three clowns dancin’ where the road meets green.
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re the idiots of the interstate,
Broken brakes and a rusty fate,
Strings of hearts in a junk-car choir,
Violin spikes set the prairie on fire.
[Outro]
