Stall on the Shoulder

Chorus

Stall on the shoulder

Stall on the highway

Pay check for the rental

Pay check for the wire

Buying what I'm told to buy

Buying what I'm sold

Verse 1

Counting pennies at the pump

Twelve bucks

Only takes me halfway to the gate

Shift ends late

Pre-Chorus

No air in the lobby

No ice in the tray

I wake

I wait

I work

Chorus

Stall on the shoulder

Stall on the highway

Pay check for the rental

Pay check for the wire

Buying what I'm told to buy

Buying what I'm sold

Verse 2

Cereal for dinner tonight

Yellow light flickers

Under the plastic clouds of the plains

Nothing remains

Pre-Chorus

No air in the lobby

No ice in the tray

I wake

I wait

I work

Chorus

Stall on the shoulder

Stall on the highway

Pay check for the rental

Pay check for the wire

Buying what I'm told to buy

Buying what I'm sold

Bridge

Picket fences painted gray

Picket fences rot away

Safety is a locked screen

Safety is a fever dream

Chorus

Stall on the shoulder

Stall on the highway

Pay check for the rental

Pay check for the wire

Buying what I'm told to buy

Buying what I'm sold
