In The Van Again

Another year I'm here, unload the gear
There's a health food restaurant over there
The sound check is now but no one cares
Hey what time are we on stage?
The trailer's like a puzzle packed
With T-shirts, drums, and all our crap
We take it back
It's a science the third day

Now we pack the gear, we're out of here
It's a 14 hour drive but no one is sleeping
Say your good-byes and then
We're in the van again

Relationships we're on the phone
The auto van's our second home
I know those roads, from Berlin to Rome
Like 80 in the states
And I love this city ad I love to stay
But at 12 o'clock we're on our way

Now we pack the gear, we're out of here
It's a 14 hour drive but no one's sleeping
Say your good-byes and then
We're in the van again

I've traded in the university for this back seat and poverty
But this whole time I felt so free and learned all in the end
And winter has passed but we made it through
Don't tell me about paying dues
And if you paid, then you know too
You'll end up doing it again and again and again
