Song Notes:

Treat Me Like A Road started life as a PSA about infrastructure, but ultimately evolved into something more personal. That's when it finally started to roll and become what you hear now. Often it's too easy to neglect someone, or something, important until it's just too late - and then there's hell to pay. Crumbling infrastructure, broken relationships, and rough roads ahead.

Lyrics

You treat me like a road
You got me feeling low
and don't you know
I just can't hide the tears

You got me feeling flat
You got me feeling black
and all you'll do
is curse and grind your gears

You bitch when I'm too busy
You whine when I look rough
From down here you ain't pretty
and you sure don't pay me enough!

You treat me like a road
to get to where you go
and when you're done
you leave me lying here

You cross the double line
you don't give me the time
and when you roll
it's all about your wheels

I'll drop you like a ton of freight -
a train gone off the track
You'll have to find some other way
to get to hell and back...

Hell! Your baggage is too heavy
Your coldness makes me crack
You'd best show me some lovin'
or you'd better not come back!

You treat me like a road
You treat me like a road
You treat me like a ro oh oh oad

You treat me like a road
You treat me like a road
You treat me like a ro oh oh oad

etc...
