Sitting on a highway / in a broken van
Thinking of you / again
If I have to hitchhike / to the station
With every step / I'll see your face

Like a mirror / lookin' back at me
Saying you're / the only one
Making me feel / I could survive
And so glad / to be alive

Nowhere to run / and not a guitar to play
Messed up inside / and it's been raining all day
Since you went / away
Manhattan Island / Serenade

Sitting on a highway / in a broken van
Thinking of you / again
If I have to hitchhike / down a highway
With every step / I'll see your face

Like a mirror / lookin' back at me
Saying you're / the only one
Making me feel / I could survive
And so glad / to be alive

Nowhere to run / and not a guitar to play
Messed up inside / and it's been raining all day
Since you went / away
Manhattan Island / Serenade

  • Classic CunninLynguistics break. Good usage of a cool vocal refrain.

  • Has Leon ever done a crappy song? Nope, I can't think of one either.

  • Cunninlynguists and Mac Lethal brought me here, Leon made me stay.

  • They got the rain sound by sticking the mic out the window during an actual Oklahoma thunderstorm. The album Carney was recorded at the Grand Lake studio with 2 people, Leon and the sound engineer. Leon played all the instruments.

  • What's a boy from Lawton, Oklahoma doing on Manhattan Island anyway is what I always wondered?! That was enough to bring anybody down to begin with.

  • If I have to hitchhike / to the station

    You got it wrong. The correct lyric is :

    'guess I'll have to hitchhike to the station

    And,

    'guess I'll have to hitchhike down a highway

  • @judecreek2 To be honest, yes. Pretty much everything on Americana.
