Tarkio Road Lyrics - Brewer & Shipley

Moving on down the Tarkio Road 

Headed up to Crete, Nebraska 

Trying my best to set the highway on fire 

But my bicycle won't go no faster 

Tarkio Road is a mother 

It's just like, oh, so many others 

Well, the children reject you 

And the police inspect you 

Looking inside the trunk 

Under the hood, hoping to find 

The secret places where you 

Always keep your mind 

Whoa, whoa, no, Tarkio Road 

Having a room or lying in jail 

Learning 'bout the 

Price of being free 

Trying to live a constitutional life 

But being held back by hypocrisy 

Carry the load, my brother 

You're jost like, oh, so many others 

Ooh, the children reject it 

And the police inspect it 

You're tied to the chair 

Better cool it, bound and gagged 

Is that the ways on the American flag 

Whoa, whoa, no, carry the load 

I'm singing Tarkio, Tarkio Road 

Tarkio, Tarkio Road 

Tarkio, Tarkio Road 

Tarkio, Tarkio Road 

If you're looking for some trouble 

You can find it on the Tarkio Road 

Twenty-four hours above our fence 

Fifty-five years of pollution 

Everyone knows how the puzzle was laid 

But can anyone recall the solution 

Tarkio Road is a mother 

It's just like, oh, so many others 

Well, the people infect you 

Well, they never elect you 

No reason to cause that you 

May have perfectly sound 

The blind looker's gonna 

Try to put it down 

Woah, whoa, no, Tarkio Road 

I'm singing again 

Tarkio, Tarkio Road 

Tarkio, Tarkio Road 

Tarkio, Tarkio Road 

Tarkio, Tarkio Road 

If you're looking for some trouble 

You can find it on the Tarkio Road
