Lyrics
Verse 1
Singing to myself on a bench off a highway
Asphalt heat lines dancing
Supposed to get north, I forget why
Now the cornfields are dancing
Verse 2
I sat down mid-morning, mid-June
Said bye to my friends, my bus will be here soon
And when it passed,
I sat then too
Instrumental
Chorus 1
What does it mean Mama?
What’s it mean Mama?
If I’m content on a bench on the side of the road
Am I gonna do things Mama?
Big things mama
If I just want to watch everyone else go-go-go
Instrumental
Verse 3
People flash their lights and pull of the road
Ask me if I have a place to go
I do a thinking thing, right up in my head
And the truth is… nope!
Verse 4
I found myself a friend about mid-July
He said he’s got to get north, but he forgets why
He plays the banjo, I play guitar
And at night we see all the stars
Chorus 2
What does it mean Mama?
What’s it mean Mama?
If I’m content on a bench on the side of the road
Am I gonna do things Mama?
Big things mama
If I just want to watch everyone else go-go-go
Instrumental
Bridge
Summer comes and turns to winter,
I forgot but now remember
How to watch a season go
I have seen all types of weather
I like it best when we’re together
And life is moving slow
Chorus/Outro
What does it mean Mama?
What’s it mean Mama?
If I’m content on a bench on the side of the road
Am I gonna do things Mama?
Big things mama
Cuz everything on the side of the road
Still grows
