lyrics

Could’ve sworn that I woke up with my foot on the gas,
But somehow still right in my lane,
Thought it might be Tuesday or Kansas,
But I couldn’t read the signs through the fog and the rain

Fixed my eyes on the tail lights of a truck up ahead,
Glowing red, staring back through the night,
Told myself all I need is to maintain my speed,
And just don’t let them get out of my sight

And I gotta get right, we got a long way still,
We’re gonna be there by the end of the day
I think we’re just about halfway,
And when it comes around, we’ll have our feet on the ground,
Then we’ll sing all the songs that we play,
And then we’ll be on our way.

Now lately it seems people don’t even seen us,
In the truck stops or out at the shows
Like try as we try we just can’t catch their eye,
But sometimes that’s just how it goes.

We fret on the stage and we howl and we rage,
They drink and they don’t bat an eye
Say goodnight and unplug, pack the gear up and shrug,
Try to let that whole town pass us by

And I gotta get right, we got a long way still,
And tomorrow’ll be another long day
I think we’re just about halfway,
And when it comes around, we’ll have our feet on the ground,
We’ll kick back and rest a few days,
And then we’ll be on our way.

On a screen in the diner out the corner of my eye
Caught a glimpse of a piece on the news
About a van that got wrecked in Nevada or Texas
Left no bodies, no trace, no clues

Now ain’t that the last thing you need on your mind
For the drive to St. Louis or Denver
Just keep your eyes open and let it fly by
And do your best not to remember

And I really can’t say how long we’ve been staying
In the gap between the night and the day
I think we’re just about halfway,
And when it comes around, we’ll be deep underground,
And we’ll have no more songs left to play,
And then we’ll be on our way.
