Leif Vollebekk - Off the Main Drag Lyrics
Old gas station hasn’t changed in decadesCashier checks the time around herput my things on the counterPull out my wallet like some pull down the shadesMy only brother lent me his only carwho knew I would drive it so farSometimes you move out of some obligationsIt was gorgeous on the outside, inside it was just a machineit was the fastest thing I’ve ever seenI first met Victoria at Victoria stationWe’d always talked about going for a beerShe said, “It’s strange now that you’re here.”We went back to her place, 57th we’d cross itShe’s as poor as me but she looks twice as goodI told her that because it’s something I wouldShe shrugged a little and she turned off the fausetAnd later on as we were crawling into bedI was thinking on something my father had saidHe said, “You’re better off, off of the main drag.”with my well-worn body wrenched like a ragThere I was, straight off the main drag
