It was a strange request and they'd just barely met
But somehow he didn't seem like a stranger
She knew what her sister always said about the angels,
How they show up when you never expect them
She never expected
When she was mostly in the phone booth at the end of her rope
Spending half her time just hope-hope-hoping
Then someone finally showed up with a shot at the coast
So she gets in the car and they go
Goodbye Central Valley, hello Shasta-Trinity
You look even better than you did in the pictures
He didn't say much she never thought it was love
It was mostly about the adventure
When they get to Eureka they crash with his friends
They had five in one room they had four in one bed
She had sixty-eight bucks she said she only had ten
Acid management checking all the balances
There was this whole long scene with some mountains and some lakes
And most of it was real but some of it seemed fake
Try not to judge me by the pictures that I take
I've always had some pretty shaky hands
He never came out and said it, he just kind of implied it
The dashboard almost swallowed them whole
He didn't say much she never thought it was love
It was mostly about the control
They put the speed against the sedatives futures and derivatives
Some deep freedom getting tangled up in tenements
You gotta put the negatives up against the benefits
Crisis management getting out ahead of it
But the guy that she left with ain't the things that he said he is
He's a dick when he drinks and she's scared of his friends
He went through her purse and he let her keep ten
He never wants to do anything
There was a guy at the door there was a gun on the bed
There was a dog on the rope that had a cross on its head
Let me introduce you some deep freedom
We're just kind of getting used to it
No gods no kings let freedom ring
No faith no sin no hymns to sing
She just wanted to see some things
No gods no kings let freedom ring
He never wants to do anything
My country 'tis of thee sweet land of liberty
Sleeping in the parking lots of pharmacies
No gods no kings let freedom ring
He never wants to do anything
