about

A chance encounter between old acquaintances on the crooked streets of Pittsburgh’s hills.

lyrics

I got a nice clean car, I gotta catch me a fare
You got rain on your face and you gotta get somewhere
You home for good or only passing through?
Climb on in, we got some catching up to do

Been a long time, Hon’, what kinda trip you been on?
Bet you seen some things you can't never tell your mom
Them wandering eyes, they take you for a ride
I wonder, do you ever look behind?

These hills are filled with streets as crooked as a maze
And maybe that explains the way I drive
And why I don't think straight
I’m a lost cause but I know my way around
And I ain’t never gonna leave this town

Well, I guess you heard I finally paid my tolls
I learned to keep my eyes on the road
The oldies station plays my favorite songs
The rivers keep me here where I belong

I can see you got a lotta things to do
Filed in that briefcase next to you
I’m low on gas and need a cup of Joe
Hope you run me down before you go

These hills are filled with streets as crooked as a maze
And maybe that explains the way I drive
And why I don't think straight
I’m a lost cause but I know my way around
And I ain’t never gonna leave this town
