Guatemalan night<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the music strong<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
nothing, absolutely nothing<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
wrong. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Just me, the road, song<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
and Mayan spirits. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I’m right where I belong. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
My engine light now too on. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Could be my heart. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Could be my drinking.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Could be my chassis<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I’m just falling apart<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
and my engine light is on. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I get home. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Park the car. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Park myself. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Take a drink.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Take my pills<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
and think <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
