Downstate Vacation Songtext
von Lund Surk

Ain′t like the redline back up home
It ain't no CTA
But it′s a colorful haze

In just one day
I learned never to complain
I guess I live here too
I can't believe that's true

Wish I was around to catch the Neil Young tribute
But I′m busy that day
Can′t get to Berts anyway

And I been tripping on the flora in the sidewalk
Getting hungry
So I took off a bite
Those jerks are riding some bikes

And I'm free but not for long
Free but not for long


I′ll see if Belleville's doing fine
Can′t be worse than that
Granite tomb
The stuck waiting on a freight train gloom

I think that gateway should say
Go back the other way
I'll go to Collinsville
I got my waffle fill

Wish I was around to catch the Neil Young tribute
But I′m busy that day
They hate his guts anyway

You know I hate to get political
I'm sure they get hospitable
But I can't deny
Seems the progressives all died

I′m free but not for long
Free but not for long
