A road song about the long journey across America and the hope that comes with it.
Verse 1
Las Cruces to Van Horn Abeline and Dallas
Shreveport Jackson Birmingham Alabama
Nashville Louisville on up to Chicago
These are the days of the wild blue yonder
Verse 2
Nineteen hundred and seventy miles
It's a very long way to see your smile
It's funny how fast we go how close we come
Without even touching
Verse 3
We left Scotty in Scotty's Castle
A two-hour turn-a-round
A real big hassle
How many bridges how many fences
How many miles until we get to Memphis
Bridge
I had a dream I was living in my car
There were no strings on my guitar
I looked at my watch I couldn't tell the time
I looked out the window I couldn't read the signs
But I just hunkered down and watched the white line
Outro
The sun comes up like a yellow thumb print
The blue sky covers where the black sky went
And hope creeps in, when you least expect it
