One Stop On the Highway --- Song Lyric --- No Music -Yet-

It was one stop on the highway along a long desert road. Billy said, “wake up”. I thought it was some kind of code. I stumbled out into the sun's glare; if there was an answer I didn't see it out there. I shucked down my trousers and pissed in the sink all the while thinkin' I could sure use a drink. A lizard was climbing the wall to my right and I almost remembered a scene from last night... but then Billy knocked on that cheap paneled door and that sweet memory wasn't there any more. I walked back outside... collapsed in my seat... Joe pushed the pedal and I fell back to sleep.
