Driving with a yellow dog, I-95   He's got a smile on his face and big shiny eyes   Up at a decent hour, I never ate yet   Got a little Johnny Cash in the old tape deck   Nothing in the trunk but some base ball gloves   a pair of jumper cables and a set of golf clubs   blanket on the back seat we're in rough shape   sunroof held on with a bit of duck tape   Looking for a gas station, better make a lift   Fill it up with regular, I need to take a piss   sexy girl air freshener, snacks and a pinwheel    top up the fluids, clean the bugs off the windshield    not a care in the world, not a how, and a why   no destination, not a cloud in the sky   back on the road not a moment too soon   dish ran away with some other spoon      wicked & weird I'm a road hog with an old dog   singing slow songs trying to hold on   wicked & weird I'm a rat fish    tryin’ to practice doing back flips on your mattress      Hole in the muffler, ghost on the shoulder   cough drops, loose change in the beverage holder   to roll down the window you gotta use a wrench   I'm thinking about brushing up on my French   Right there in the glove box, if you should look   You'll find 40 parking tickets   And a copy of the Good Book   Don't bother looking, you'll never find me   I'm starting from scratch and leaving trouble behind me      wicked & weird I'm a road hog with an old dog   singing slow songs trying to hold on   wicked & weird I'm a rat fish    tryin’ to practice doing back flips on your mattress      Christ almighty, there's a rattle in the wheel well   Dog fell asleep and man, I don't feel well   But all I need is a half decent breakfast   And I'll be back at it, dirty and reckless      5 o'clock shadow, lips like mud flaps   hands like eagle's talons, eyes like hub caps   The further I get, I keep going faster   Whispers in the wind, cows in the pasture   I have no plans and nothin’ to prove either    I eat out of a bag and sleep in a movie theatre      The highway's a story teller, I just write it down   Already been beaten, there's no way to fight it now   I just kick back and keep warm on the cold days   (And) laugh 'cause it ain't like it was in the old days   I figure when I make it to the heavenly gates    I'll be working on my car and playing 78's      wicked & weird I'm a road hog with an old dog   singing slow songs trying to hold on   wicked & weird I'm a rat fish    tryin’ to practice doing back flips on your mattress
