Road Block

The flashlight shines upon my face as I hand the cop my driver license. police cars blocking the road, Singles cop behind the wheel let me through not who they are looking for I wave and drive on not knowing why or even what was going on and now my window won't roll up technology A few miles into the darken night my headlights show the image of an hitchhiker thumbing for a ride I speed up and pass him by not tonight on this road a few more miles and slam brakes road block again by a fallen tree huge tree not just blocking but crumbling old road bad night for a dead phone battery Back up and turn around down the road on the side police cars with lights flashing, cops handcuff hitchhiker I slow and drive by and our eyes meet the suspect and me If I gave you a ride freedom was blocked by a big tree his eyes told me were he wanted me to go stopped and waved, told cop about fallen tree Looks like I have to go the long way now Try the window again still stuck and it begins to rain.
