[Intro: Jaysonic]
The rest stop is the midpoint of the universe. It is nobody’s destination. It’s a place to take a breath between Point A and Point B, so let’s go there and see what we see

[Verse 1: Jaysonic]
I saw her at the rest stop, holding down the food court
On a ten-minute rest, holding on a Newport, listen-
-ing to Too Short, eating barbeque pork. About
Halfway between D.C. and New York
Somewhere like Delaware, so I stood up from my chair. I
Stepped to the Roy Rogers, asked for medium-rare. Cashier
Looked at me funny as I gave him the money. Holding my
Burger with no glove and his nose all runny. Turned
Around. “Where’s honey?” Playing Ms. Pacman
Pumping heavy basslines and rhymes without a lap dance
Looked down and noticed that I had ketchup on my pants, and stepped
To her. “Baby, do French fries really come from France?”
She took off her headphones, looked irritated, said, “What?!?”
Her lip a full clamp gripping that cigarette butt
She caught me off-guard and I came off like a shmuck and then
She went back to work because her break was up. She was
A rest stop sweetheart

[Hook: Folami]
Meet me at the
Rest stop. Yeah
Yeah. Meet me at the
Rest stop. Don’t
Stay away too long

[Interlude 1: Comel 15]
Yo, wait, let me tell you about this shorty, yo. Check this out

[Verse 2: Comel 15]
On my
Way to making progress, accountability, honest, had to
Keep my promise. My destination not the farthest
See bluegrass, cow pastures, and trailer trash
Sitting uncomfortably and still facing my ass
Motion-sick, swirling, gripping my stomach, churning. Four more
Hours to go, and then I caught the bus turning
Fresh air’ll do me good. Patient, waiting like I should
Stepping off the bus into a newer, strange hood
Worse than Port Authority, wait in line on seniority
Disorderly, seeing this shorty fall, look like a horny bee
“Hey, excuse me. How you doing?” (“Me?”) “Where you going?
What bus you choosing? Mines, my legs stay stretched, movements”
Adequately rested, food in the stomach digested
Got on the bus early and, in the backseat, I invested
We exchanged [?] and cuddled nonstop. Mistook
A beauty for being a hooker at the rest stop
Found out where she going was actually right down the block
But got on the bus with me because she liked the way I talked
[?] journey, that moment kind of disturbed me. One more
Hour to go—I hope that we can get there early
This goes in my diary when I get to where I stop, but when I
Get off the bus, it’s just another rest stop

[Hook: Folami]
Rest stop. Yeah
Yeah. Come meet me at the
Rest stop. Don’t
Stay away too long
Mhmm. Come
Meet me
At the
Rest stop. Oh
Yeah
Oh. I’ll
Miss you
