Say Zuzu

Wish me well
(Jon Nolan)

Broke and standing on the shoulder
By an empty station wagon
With just my thumb and my Dad's gas can

I walk until my dogs are barking
I ain't never been much for walking
And I ain't ever had a sunburn on my hand

How far to go is hard to tell
There ain't no map so wish me well

Jobs in a kitchen won't get you much
Except patience and avarice and wanderlust
Kitchen pay won't get you much more

I traded the dishes for an '83 wagon
Had my dad take a look under the hood
He said, 'Take my old gas can, check the oil
You should be good.

Wish me wide-open roads
Wish me a warm place to rest
Wish me a life of my own
Wish me only happiness

I get a ride back from a friendly man
Who lifts me back with a full gas can
I point her out and we pull up slow
I wave my thanks and start to roll
