Under the Wire Lyrics & Tabs by Matt the Electrician
Under the Wire
guitar chords lyrics
I'm a ridiculous American sitting in a Burger King
On the side of the highway in another country.
It is actually Denmark.
It is actually beautiful.
I'm reading a novel by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki.
It is a story of Japan.
It is a story of a family
In the 1930s before World War II.
It was a long time ago.
It was a long ways away
As far as right here as I am to you.
And under the wire
They held up the hands,
Their wedding bands,
Waiting in order
When order was everything.
And I'm thinking that these truckers
At this truck stop in Denmark
Look almost like the truckers we have back home
And a van pulls up. It is a UPS van,
And I want to crawl inside it so I don't feel so alone.
And I cannot use my phone 'cause it is too expensive
And I hope the tour van remembers where I am
The radio is playing a song by Shakira.
I've heard it twice already; I'm gonna here it again.
And under the wire
They held up the hands,
Their wedding bands,
Waiting in order
When order was everything.
When order was everything.
I was told I would be waiting for two whole hours,
So I read my book at the Burger King.
And exactly at the end of the two whole hours
A van pulled up, and I was on the road again.
And under the wire
They held up the hands,
Their wedding bands,
Waiting in order
When order was everything.
When order was everything.
