about

not based on a true story. it is a true story.

lyrics

My check engine light was on
When I reached the Rio Grande
We hadn't been gone long
But I wished I had a van
I sure wished I had a van

My little Pontiac gets me
To where I need to go
Point A to point B
Like New York to El Paso
New York to El Paso

We left North Caroline
Thinkin we were in the clear
But that little orange light
Followed us down here
Yeah it followed us down

Oh I never saw a bigger sky
And I never stopped asking why

Cause we saw New Orleans
And we saw the End of the World
But out in Joshua Tree
It was all Instagram girls
Man, it was just Instagram girls

We drove from coast to coast
Saw our country critically
Seeking, as do most,
Some authenticity
A little authenticity
