Lyrics

I never wanted, never wanted
Nothin' but good for you
And if I were a rich man
You know you'd be rich too
But what I got, what I got
You know I'm gonna give it to you

And we're just gonna, we're just gonna
Maintain

I'm just workin' people, workin' people, that's what she told me
Strugglin', strugglin' to make do
I get stuck out on the highway, most every day these days
With the thousands of fools, like me and you
What do you say, we move to the country babe, the country babe
And grab a wife or two

And just
Maintain
Cruise

Big Earth keep on turnin' -- turnin', turnin', turnin'
We're spinnin' our wheels all over her too
Wheels within wheels within wheels
You watch out, they don't run all over you
Some say we're expendable, expendable
Well not me, and not you

Nah, nah, nah, nah
We're gonna just
Maintain

Yeah so I cruise down 128 a lot you know, but fact is I can't cruise much anymore because there's just too many people on the road most of the time. So when I'm up on 495 now that's a different story. You can cruise up there you know. And there I was cruisin' along, Chelmsford. Littleton. And along the side of the road there they got a cross and it says, ah, 'cross the middle, Jumpin' Jack Flash. And there's all these dead flowers on it. Baseball cap. Jumpin' Jack was a trucker who fell into the ditch over there you know. Did I tell you that I'm really tired of bullies on the road? Did I tell you that yet? Don't know how he got into that ditch, but he did, with a 18-wheeler or somethin' like that, and he never came out, alive. And this way on the cross, it says uh, We love you. And I'm sure you see plenty of those along the road. So these days, I don't know, I just like to... Cruise.
