Pennsic Driver (filk)


Taliesin Wordweaver            


I was scarcely one and twenty, when I first heard of the dream
T'was but fleeting fancy, or so my friends did deem
But soon they came to realize, come weekends, I was gone
I packed a rented trailer, and drove away at dawn

(chorus)
I'll drive when I am hungry, keep going when I'm hot,
I'll speed on down the freeway, and pray I'll not be caught
Across a few more statelines, I know that I must roam
Cuz I'm a Pennsic driver, and I'm finally coming home

I first laid out my tentpoles beneath a cloudless sky
Upon the fields of Pennsic I raised a shady fly
But August sun at Pennsic will soak your garb with sweat
And summer thunder conspired to keep me dripping wet

I'll drive when I am hungry, keep going when I'm hot,
I'll speed on down the freeway, and pray I'll not be caught
Across a few more statelines, I know that I must roam
Cuz I'm a Pennsic driver, and I'm finally coming home

I foraged for dry garments, had no garb to my name,
The rain had drowned the campsite, our lots was all the same
But nudity is accurate to the timeframe I portray
But security was summoned, and they carried me away

I'll drive when I am hungry, keep going when I'm hot,
I'll speed on down the freeway, and pray I'll not be caught
Across a few more statelines, I know that I must roam
Cuz I'm a Pennsic driver, and I'm finally coming home
