lyrics

I met a girl in Portland and she
Felt important to me
Brewed me some jasmine tea and we talked about the big one

She followed me to Washington
Where I found my love in a man I trust, you know,
Trust don't come easily to me

As we drove to Montana
I met a woman from Alabama
She broke the law by putting her body first

And as we got to South Dakota
I met a widow in a long wool coat
He was looking for a place to find his home

My car is full of people that I
Picked up on the side of the road
We were going in the same direction
I was tired of driving alone

We finally made our way back east
Where the great Atlantic was at her peak
She was coming down from her summertime heat
Ready to take me in

Stripped down to nothing and now
Darling ain't it something to see
Five naked strangers running full force into the blue

Full force and first choice
I was using my most desired voice
I saw a love I'd never see again

I could feel my body's core
Use everything to hold in store
The hope I felt from salt drying on my skin

My car is full of people that I
Picked up on the side of the road
We were going in the same direction
I was tired of driving alone

My car is full of people that I
Picked up on the side of the road
We were going in the same direction
I was tired of driving alone

And I gave in I gave it everything I knew
A fleeting paradise, imperfect and true
And I'll keep collecting and protecting all I know
I might not be with you but I'm not quite on my own

My car is full of people that I
Picked up on the side of the road
We were going in the same direction
I was tired of driving alone

My car is full of people that I
Picked up on the side of the road
We were going in the same direction
I was tired of driving alone

My car is full of people that I
Picked up on the side of the road
We were going in the same direction
I was tired of driving alone
