Текст песни Road Buddy (Dar Williams) с переводом

We passed the stores, we passed the hotels

Filled our car with gasoline

We drove that night, I saw the moon

Almost got us in an accident

And then at the rest stop

When that woman tried to steal my wallet

It felt like an adventure

Isn’t that what you would call it?

Well, isn’t that what you would call it?

You’re my road buddy, but I’m lonely all the time

I thought that we’d be joking, having long talks on late night drives

But you drive so bad I lost my patience

So pass the chips and turn the station

This is not a romance with the road

Where the moss grows up the trees

To where the dirt is rusty red

I thought we’d find each story like a snakeskin or an arrowhead

But we only stop at fast-food places

They hate their jobs, I understand

I try to act familiar, but they’re floating just above the land

And we are all floating

You’re my road buddy, but I’m lonely all the time

I thought we’d show that friendship could be stronger than the crossroads devil

But I thought I heard the tollman sing

I’ll take that thing you got from me

This is not a romance with the road

And those cliffs are the same as in the magazines I have at home

And the tall grass reminds me of the same dreams I had at home

I thought life was a road, and I wanted to begin it

I said, my friend and I going on a trip so I can only stop a minute

We go to the vending machines

I want to watch these kids with their mother, sipping on their juice boxes

And smiling at each other

And maybe that’s their dad on the phone

Saying, hey mom, you shouldn’t wait, go ahead, have dinner

'cause were running just a little late

But we’re on our way

Road buddy, road buddy

I heard about the boxcars and the family of travellers

But there’s real estate signs in the cornfield stubble

I know there’s love, I bet there’s trouble

But you just can’t spend a lifetime on the road

And there’s something I finally faced

I finally think I come from someplace

This is not a romance with the road
