Dousing my vagabond shoes
In a bath of crayon wax
They burn with a fierce fire
Crying to hit the pavement
Familiarity of scenery
Weighing heavier on my back
Than my chocked full pack.
Boring souls that start to occupy
Too many pieces of my space
I'm feeling it again already,
It's past due time to
Catch a train, bus, or plane
Either way, wherever it may be
It's time to make my escape
My feet were becoming too posh anyway
This is how it goes,
I start to ask the questions,
Looking for the answers that sound right
The where, the how, the when, and how long
The what-do-I-need,
What-can-I-keep,
Catching the money
And running fast, packing light,
No matter the greener pasture I find,
Another always lies in wait.
