Cassette Deck Road Trip Grand Canyon Lyrics

Cassette Deck Road Trip Grand Canyon lyrics

I heard the cryout as the car came to a stop

A mix of panic then relieve 

On the edge of the Grand Canyon 

Ten seconds later still sitting frozen 

We burst out into fucking killer laughter 

I couldn't catch my breath forever 



And then it hit me

Hey can you play that tape back? 

I-I-I can't believe that it was rollin'

Listen to the sound of our commentary

Then wicked yelling out, screeching wheels, silence, howls... 



Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 



That three week road trip was a road trip and a half - maybe more 

Captured on one roll of film, out of focus pictures bore 

Every national monument, every tourist trap

Across the 48 states that fell within' our path 



And then it hit me

Hey can you play that tape back?

I-I-I can't believe that it was rollin'

Listen to the sound of your commentary 

Laughing old man please shut up

I've heard way more than enough 



Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 



By my count it all ended, 17 cassette tapes later

Stupid brain dead observations

Yes, we were much too clever 

To know that we were having the time of our lives

Now years later listening to those cassettes drives me to cry 



And then it hit me

Hey can you play that tape back

I-I-I can't believe that it was rollin'

Listen to the sound of our commentary 

Recording our lives ourselves

I'm glad I have them now...
