"New Connection" lyrics - TODD SNIDER

Runnin' out of gas where a gas station's hard to find
These East Coast toll roads drive me out of my mind
You can't go any faster than the guy you gotta go behind
I need a new connection

There ain't nothin' I hate more than waitin' in an airport line
Except a nine dollar glass of some cheap ass airport wine
I never do have enough room to move when I'm ridin' that jet airline
Jet airline

I need a new connection, I need a new direction
I'm so tired of lookin' at the same reflection in the rear view mirror that I always do
I need a new inspiration, another kind of conversation
Anything but this situation we've all been through and through and through
A new connection to you

I was ridin' in a cab around a town I'd never been
Cab driver's chain smokin' tryin' to get a station in
Twenty minutes in the ride the guy asked where I was goin' again
Where was I goin' again?

I need a new connection, I need a new direction
I'm so tired of lookin' at the same reflection in my rear view mirror when I'm passin' through
I need a new inspiration, another kind of conversation
Anything but this situation we've all been through and through and through
A new connection to you

I got a hand full of car keys jinglin' on a ring
I got a head full of worries doin' the same damn thing
I got a lot more songs than I've got words to sing
Sometimes you just gotta sing

I need a new connection, I need a new direction
I'm so tired of lookin' at the same reflection in the rear view mirror that I always do
I need a new inspiration, another kind of conversation
Anything but this situation we've all been through and through and through
A new connection to you
