"Clouds?" Road Song (Tune of "Clouds"- Joni Mitchell)

MILES AND PILES OF DOLLAR BILLS
AND MOTEL ROOMS AND OTHER FRILLS
AND CALLING IN WHEN YOU ARE ILL
I'VE LOOKED AT PLANTS THAT WAY

BUT NOW I'VE LOOKED ANOTHER TIME
THOSE MISERS PINCHING EVERY DIME
AND CALLING ROAD TECHS THEIVING SLIME
AND RIPPING OFF OUR PAY

I'VE LOOKED AT PLANTS FROM BOTH SIDES NOW
FROM IN AND OUT AND STILL SOMEHOW
IT'S SILL BULLSHIT I RECALL
I REALLY DON'T LIKE PLANTS......AT ALL

JOKES AND SMOKES AND TELLING LIES
AND ALL THE TOYS A PAYCHECK BUYS
AND PLAYING GRAB-ASS WITH THE GUYS
I'VE LOOKED AT WORKED THAT WAY
BUT NOW THERE ARE SO MANY CLODS
WHO WALK AROUND LIKE FRIGGIN' GODS
AND BRAG ABOUT THEIR DINKY RODS
I THINK THEY'RE MOSTLY GAY

I'VE LOOKED AT WORK FROM BOTH SIDES NOW
FROM UP AND DOWN AND STILL SOMEHOW
IT'S STUPID BUTT-HEADS I RECALL
I REALLY DON'T LIKE WORK....AT ALL

YEARS OF SMEARS AND DOSERATE TAGS
AND WRITING STUFF ON YELLOW BAGS
AND CLEANING UP WITH PURPLE RAGS
I'VE COVERED JOBS THAT WAY.

BUT NOW I WAVE MY RO-2
AND SAY "DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO,
AND WAKE ME UP WHEN YOU ARE THROUGH
OR IF I'M IN THE WAY"

I'VE COVERED JOBS FROM BOTH SIDES NOW
FROM IN AND OUT AND STILL SOMEHOW
THERE'S VERY LITTLE I RECALL
I'D RATHER NOT BE BUGGED....AT ALL.
