I-95 Lyrics
They sell posters of girls washing cars
Unicorns and stars
Guns and roses album covers
They got most of the Barney DVDs
Coffee mugs and tees
That say Virginia is for lovers
But its not
Round here its just for truckers who forgot
To fill up on gasoline
Back up near Aberdeen
It's a nine hour drive
From me to you
South on I-95
And I'll do it till the day that I die
If I need to
Just to see you
Just to see you
Hip hop stations are fading in and out
All I'm receiving now
Is a kick drum mixed with static
Constellations are blinking in the sky
The road is open wide and it feels so cinematic
Till a van driven by an elder gentleman
Cuts right in front of me
From then on thats all I see
It's a nine hour drive from me to you
South on I-95
And I'll do it till the the day that I die
If I need to
Just to see you
Just to see you
Unicorns and stars
Guns and roses album covers
They got most of the Barney DVDs
Coffee mugs and tees
That say Virginia is for lovers
But its not
Round here its just for truckers who forgot
To fill up on gasoline
Back up near Aberdeen
From me to you
South on I-95
And I'll do it till the day that I die
If I need to
Just to see you
Just to see you
All I'm receiving now
Is a kick drum mixed with static
Constellations are blinking in the sky
The road is open wide and it feels so cinematic
Till a van driven by an elder gentleman
Cuts right in front of me
From then on thats all I see
South on I-95
And I'll do it till the the day that I die
If I need to
Just to see you
Just to see you

This song is just lovely, really! I can't believe someone hasn't commented on it yet, so I figured I would! ;]
This song is pretty easy to interpret. It's obviously about a couple in love with one another and the singer expresses that he would travel 9 hours to see the person that he loves... South on I-95.
Absolutely adorable. Just put it on a mix for a cute boy who lives about 9 hours away from me. Perfect ;]
i think literally this song is about a long distance relationship where the guy drives south to see his girl and would happily do it till the day he dies despite the rubbishness of getting there. unfortunately, he does die in the end. metaphorically, it could be about a situation where the guy is constantly striving to be the man his girl wants, but to no avail as the "older gentleman" wins her in the end. either way, best sond ever.
@sosueme I just have to say here all these years later, "it's the only thing I see" is about getting stuck behind the "older gentleman." He didn't lose the girl to him.

It's a funny lyric. Adam was expert ad mixing pathos in the melody with flashes of wit like this. Damn I miss him.

This song just came on my playlist for 2007...wow, it has taken on a new meaning as I type this in 2021. Adam was such a great musician and songwriter. He had a gift for writing songs people could relate to with a catchy melody, but the thoughts and words were drawn from his experiences. You will be missed Adam, thank you for the wonderful tunes.
