Unplugged

Hey, I bother you, just a couple of secs?
Can you please point me towards ole Route 66?


Thanks!


Think I will just cruise down that path for a few miles
I like taking time more than making time these days
No time to peruse, racing down some interstate
I like taking in sights and smells on the scooter

Seems like most people these days are in a hurry to go nowhere
While they’re going there, most are talking on their phones to somebody
When they hang up, it rings; another person does the same to them
Why, does nowhere need to be gotten to so fast on the phone?

I like to listen to things that are in nature
I see lots of people with things plugged in their ears
How do they hear anything in the world that way?
Riding around in them cages, isolated


Well, ole Harley Davidson and I, we'll just cruise
This road has plenty of sites, weather don’t matter
I guess some people don’t understand about life
It’s meant to be lived, learned, and most of all, enjoyed
