Fountains Of Wayne - A Road Song Lyrics






We're still in Wisconsin as far as I know
Today was Green Bay and tomorrow Chicago
Wish I was lying, but there isn't much to report
My phone is dying, so I've got to keep it short

I just wanted to say hey
I've been writing you a road song
It's a cliché, but hey
That doesn't make it so wrong
And in between the stops at the Cracker Barrel
And forty movies with Will Ferrell
I need some way to occupy my time
So I'm writing you a road song
I sure hope you don't mind

I bought you a light blue T-shirt last night
From some band I couldn't stand
But their logo's alright
Some kid threw a bottle on stage
He had an arm like a pro
I know it's getting late
I guess I should let you go

But did I happen to say hey?
I've been writing you a road song
Don't run away, 'cause hey
I promise it won't be too long
I know it's not what you call necessary
And I know that I'm no Steve Perry
But even if you roll your eyes and groan
I'm still writing you a road song
That you can call your own

  21. J.... L....

    Check out the band Look Park - Collingwood's new project with the Fountains of Wayne sound!

  22. j.... c....

    ES QUE ESOS TIPOS SON IMPRESIONANTES !!!!!!!!!!!

  23. M.... F....

    These guys nailed it.

  24. �.... ....

    beautiful melody and harmony

  25. J.... A....

    Criminally unappreciated band. I love them and I hate that they aren't playing together anymore.

    J.... A....

    Saw them live about 5 times, caught Brian Young's drunk stick after a show. It was amazing. Glad the last time I saw them, they played I've Got A Flair. That's my favorite.

    I'm sure they'll do a reunion show in the future.

    J.... A....

    @ZyxthePest Chris said in an interview once that he doesn't feel like he could play with them again after what he put them through. If they did though, I'll be first in line.

    J.... A....

    @MrFlaminglemon what did he put them through? I know about Look Park and some remarks about him wanting to do his own thing, but if Axl and Slash can set aside their differences..

    J.... A....

    @Yoga Nandiwardhana He was an alcoholic. Because of his drinking, he only wrote 3 or 4 songs on Traffic and Weather. He got better, but feels guilty for letting the band down, and can't forgive himself.

    J.... A....

    It would seem like playing and writing with them again while sober would be the perfect way to say I'm sorry... of course maybe he did that with Sky Full of Holes... still I don't think he is going to reach nearly as much audience with Look Park... it isn't quite the same sound, feel, vibe or quality overall.

  26. G.... -....

    epic song

  27. G.... B....

    Hey !

    How can a band with so much talent go unnoticed? I feel bad for them but I also like the idea of them being my little secret. Feel like I know the guys.
