Honest use case: people who appreciate the sacrifices of an artist, or those who find a bittersweet comfort in the road.

Exhibit:The dental nurse from Uppsala came to Gothenburg in March. Row nine. She bought a ticket. She has bought eleven tickets. Nineteen years and one CD and she has paid for all of them.

lyrics

(the E4 south)

Fourteen countries in the diary and a winter I have done
Same roads, same rooms, same four hours of daylight
And a Volvo somewhere north of here with a jammed CD slot
Doing ninety in the dark with my second verse on

The E4 south (the E4)
Going the other way, the E4
Everybody driving home, the E4
The E4

The E4 south, E4 south, the E4 south, E4 south
Half of Sweden is going home and I am going to a soundcheck
The E4 south, E4 south, the E4 south, E4 south
And I chose this every year and I would choose it again

The dental nurse from Uppsala came to Gothenburg in March.
Row nine. She bought a ticket. She has bought eleven tickets.
Nineteen years and one CD and she has paid for all of them.
(FULL PRODUCTION, BIGGEST)

The E4 south, E4 south, the E4 south, E4 south
Half of Sweden is going home and I am going to a soundcheck
The E4 south, E4 south, the E4 south, E4 south
And I chose this every year and I would choose it again
