Stop-Go Lyrics
Used to ride the highway
I used to know where I was going
Now this shady dirt road is feelin' cool beneath my feet
Used to ride on
To get to where I was going in a day
Now I've got to stop
And go and stop and go along the way
Was a fool to waste my time
Just searchin' my mind
But the more I find
The more I find the time to search
Used to ride on
To get to where I was going in a daze
And now I've got to stop
And go and stop and go along the way
I used to know where I was going
Now this shady dirt road is feelin' cool beneath my feet
Used to ride on
To get to where I was going in a day
Now I've got to stop
And go and stop and go along the way
Just searchin' my mind
But the more I find
The more I find the time to search
Used to ride on
To get to where I was going in a daze
And now I've got to stop
And go and stop and go along the way

SICKKKKKKKKKKKK song when your high
This song is about drugs, and the toll they will eventually place on you.
I think the part about the shady dirt road feeling cool beneath his feet means he's not really going anywhere. He doesn't get to where he's going in a day (stopping and going) due to dysfunction. I believe the dysfunction is drug induced. I feel that way because of how the next section is worded...searching my mind and in a daze. It's weird in the first stanza he says get to where he's going in a day which seems like efficiency not drugs the corresponding section in stanza 2 is get to where he's going in a daze which seems like drugs (smoking bowls on the highway during long drives). He can't do either of these things and is forced to stop and go along the way. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this is due to drug induced dysfunction. The drugs have compromised the efficiency approach to living and the casual carefree drug use of the past is no longer a possibility.
This song is about accepting change, being the only constant and all. Life is rarely smooth and this song does a nice job of conveying the necessary pain that change, or the need to change, can cause.
