about

One of my oldest songs but one I'm not ashamed of.

lyrics

Four stools down you spill your drink on the man
he cries angry, runs at the streetlights
to demonstrate scorn, the bar stands in unison
the mood is tense I creep for the door
I just want you to take me away
but the hope's not enough
it's not enough

If we could hitchhike together
we'd get far, I swear we'd get far
to the north or the west, wherever the trucks go
we'll find others, make them drop everything
if you'd spilled your drink on me
but the hope's not enough
it's not enough

If this plan doesn't work, I'll take responsibility
buy us bus tickets home, or maybe we'll find a car
drive out to nowhere and hunt for our food
but I'm getting ahead, this is all presupposing
that I was the one that you spilled your drink on
but the hope's not enough
it takes a little more
the hope's not enough
it's not enough.
