Sometimes I want to run away

Drive out to a different state

Change my hair and change my name

To something different, something strange

With nothing but a dented truck

And whatever else I pick up

To just exist somewhere else

Anywhere else

Anywhere but the prison

I made for myself

I want to run, to drive, to wander

To wonder what lies

Beyond the horizon

And let myself be unknown

Until I make the drive back home.

Written after the first four lines came to me in the middle of the night. Summertime always gets me in the mood to wander.
