Rosa - Hitched Up Kids [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

If I close my eyes, maybe I'll be gone away
I'll wake up to those dirty old highway signs
It seems like such a long time ago
When we all bundled up and said
"Sure, we got a long way to drive
But to me there ain't no more right
Never been closer to home."

We'll be those hitched-up kids
Got a knife in our pockets
A needle in our grins
And I could fall in love forever and never come up with an empty hand

Well I've heard all your stories a thousand times
Seems like gasoline runs through my veins
Paint me pictures of a dream I never lost
And sing me the songs, teach me how to sing
The ones they don't teach you at school
We'll make a deadly choir, you and me

So go on turn that telephone off, I ain't gonna pick it up anyway
