Wow, what a story, lives up to its title, so descriptive and poetic, nicely sentimental. Great vocals and the arrangement supports the mood perfectly.

When the music dialled back, on: "Some nights they'd dance to the car stereo", I cried.
Bob and Joliz: another masterpiece from you. You've really hit the stratosphere, I feel, of late ... the homage to Nikki Giovanni, and now this. I've said it before: you're incredible, anyway - but, these last two songs: oh my word.
If Bob Dylan got a Nobel Prize for Literature for his lyrics ... well, what on Earth are they waiting for with you, Bob? I mean this ... you write like a real master. One of the beat poets, maybe, I don't know ... I wasn't born then, and am not well read enough to comment and compare. But (if nothing else) I know a good verse when I hear and read one. AND you two are rare musicians, too, on top of your lyrical qualities.
My goodness ... please, please, please keep writing. I have a list of a few songs from here (from various artists) which I'd like to play to my grandchildren, if I ever have any. And these last two from you two are right up there. In short: as you can tell, I can't find the right words to praise you enough ... and the kind of words that I myself can write would be woefully inadequate, anyway. PLEASE keep creating.

I don't know how you consistently crank out high quality lyrics. You make a slice of life come to life. I especially admire your clincher line in the chorus: "Lookin’ for a way out on a one-way night"===that's a gem.

Road song, home song, dream song, Polaroid song...a weary voice and street directory heart.
Love it.
