After a heated argument with his parents, Old Boy leaves the house, gets in his van and drives toward The Big City and hopes to never return. On the way, he picks up a young hitchhiker.

lyrics

Free
Freedom at last
I don’t see
Myself ever turning back
Northbound by the sea
Maggot Brain on repeat
I got my wallet and keys
And a full tank

I don’t know where I’m going
Just as far as I can
From The Old Lady
And The Old Man
They planted the seed
But I hacked down the tree
I ripped out the roots
And now I’m free

Up ahead in the distance
A shadow walks through the night
Left thumb in the air
And a guitar to her right
I pulled to the side
And offered a ride
The door opened to her smile
And she asked for a light

And she said,
“I’m going to the big city
Thanks for the ride.”
We smoked out the van
And sang all night
“Why don’t you come with me?
Be my partner in crime!”
With her hand on my thigh
I was lost in her eyes
So I told her I’d stay
For just a few days

She told me her story
And I told her mine
We laughed and we cried
And we bonded over lines
Northbound by the sea
Maggot Brain on repeat
I got my wallet and keys
And a girl who digs me
