road signs theme

“we’re on a road to nowhere, come on inside
we’ll take that ride to nowhere, we’ll take that ride
feeling ok this morning, and you know
we’re on a road to find our lives, here we go, here we go”
talking heads

signs from the road are great and since we’re in vacation mode here in the states this theme should be pretty good!!!
