Not very dysphoric but I don't care. Based on a true story.

lyrics

If you're bored, bored on the highway
Listen to what I have to tell
Throw a board, board on the highway
That's how you can help yourself

I was down and out, hungry and sober
Trying to scrounge up a buck
My clothes were all dirty and I was kinda hungover
I was living real down on my luck
Up walked a wise man with a wackadoo haircut
When I saw him I had to look twice
He wore flippers and a mumu, the guy was a wingnut
And he piped up and gave this advice

Chorus

I didn't know what to say, he kinda caught me off guard
I wasn't even too sure what to think
But before I was able to ponder too hard
He reached out and offered a drink
I politely accepted and I rolled us a smoke
Then I grabbed the wine jug and I drank
We sat on the sidewalk telling stories and jokes
We laughed and we cried and we sang

Chorus

I wouldn't have thought very much of that day
It was as interesting as most days are
But a couple weeks later I wound up on the highway
Sticking my thumb out at cars
I ducked in the bushes cos I had to piss
And I got a new idea instead
While I was peeing, I thought of this,
That wacko's words echoing in my head

Chorus

There was a big piece of wood laying there in the ditch
So I dragged it to the side of the road
And threw it in front of some poor son of a bitch
So he pulled to the shoulder and slowed
He said, “Where you going?”, I said, “I dunno”
He asked about the board and I explained
He shrugged and he laughed and said, “Screw it! Let's go!”
And we rode into the horizon and sang

Chorus
