New Connection Songtext
von 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 a** 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 that 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 that 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 that we′ve all been through and through and through
A new connection to you
