Quoted Price

Gulping down 6 cups of coffee
On a 4 hour drive
And it's a guzzled tank of gasoline;
A quoted price on time
                spent
To whip a froth on memories
And put your thoughts on ice

               "Man,
It's larger drinks and longer lines
Of yellow painted warning signs,"
              I said while running empty
As you coasted in on fumes

"Nah you see it's just the finish line's
An unexploded, aging mine
And we don't have a map.
              Shit."

Guzzling down a cup of coffee
And another tank of gasoline
A quoted price on time spent
Says, "Buddy, time ain't cheap."
             Shit.
