Lyrics:

Riding through the night like a jaded vagabond
No one else in sight I could be the only one
Hear me radio, play the song I know
Take me where I long to go

'Cause there's nobody nobody now
Who can hear me or stop me now
In this old buggy old buggy now
In this old buggy old buggy now

Guided by the stars burning up petroleum
Here inside my car I could be the only one
Somewhere in the sky a satellite on high
Watches with its lonely eye

Artist commentary:

8/26/2017 Michael Guy Bowman: (Bowmantown Discord, excerpt)

this song i heard the chorus of in a dream when i was probably like 7 or 8
so i wrote around it

8/26/2017 Ucklin: (Bowmantown Discord, excerpt)

wow, that's really neat!
Was it just the words in the dream, or a melody with it?

8/26/2017 Michael Guy Bowman: (Bowmantown Discord, excerpt)

melody and words i remember, and the idea that it was like a big synthpop song. i think maybe i'd just seen "a goofy movie" so powerline is swimming around in my psyche at that age. in this dream i'm watching this guy sing this song, and then i'm literally being lifted in the air by the singer (being a small kid) and the song is being delivered to me. in the morning he's exhausted from singing his heart out and sleeping in the garage. before we get a chance to talk to him he sneaks away in a golf cart. i interpret this as being a meeting between myself as a child and myself as an adult. like a self-fulfilling thing
