One Fast Move Or I'm Gone Lyrics - One Fast Move Or I'm Gone: Music From Kerouac's Big Sur - Jay Farrar

This river of road, 

It don't flow like it used to. 

But it's more of a home 

Than anywhere that I've ridden it to. 

We used to dream together 

But now I drink alone. 

From the bottle to the tumbler 

Is the only journey left I know. 

And in my memories depths I retrace my steps. 

I cannot find where I went wrong. 

It was one fast move or I'm gone. 

I found out at an early age I could make anything or plane 

Disappear or cease to exist if I turn my back to it. 

And that the interstates, they don't connect 

Where you are to what you've left. 

And the ghost of our dreams haunt the roads in between.
