This song is geographically inaccurate, but I assume no one will check drive times from the Dallas area.
Hipper Than Thou is essentially School House Rock for obscure history and theology.
Hipper Than Thou is an ill fated collection of personalities with no commercial aspirations whatsoever. Our music is less bound by style than it is by talent. All songs are limited to the 9 chords our guitarist knows. Stylistically we range from Folk, to Jazz Folk, to Electric Folk, with a little Folk Rock.
Story behind the song
In college, I took a trip to San Antonio with a friend once with only a day's notice. I can't really do that anymore.
Lyrics
Drive All Night
Sometimes I want to get away.
Sometimes is simply want to get out on the road.
Sometimes I miss my college days.
I miss the freedom from the kids and the abode.
The little things, they bother me.
The big things I have managed to ignore.
Commitments try to smother me.
And uncertainty has blocked the other door.
If I Drive all night, I could make it to New Orleans,
About the time that Preservation Hall is shutting down,
If I drive all night, I could make it to New Orleans,
I love the music, but it's really not my town.
The things I really care about,
Have side effects I might have never chosen,
Sometimes I want to just get out,
But I know there's no place better I could go.
If I Drive all night, I could get to San Antonio,
Watch the mariachis while the moon is going down,
If I drive all night, I could get to San Antonio,
It's relaxing, but it's really not my town.
Well I never doubt for a minute that,
I'm right where I should be,
I've always believed against society that,
If I am happy I don't need to be free.
If I Drive all night, I could make it down to Austin,
Watch the capitol from 6th street as the kids are falling down,
If I drive all night, I could make it down to Austin,
It's eclectic, but it's really not my town.
If I Drive all night, I could probably get to Shreveport,
Find myself a table and proceed to double down,
If I drive all night, I could probably get to Shreveport,
It's exciting, but it's really not my town.
