lyrics

time and circumstance never meant that much to me
if I could I always took the chance in the name of living free
but it all came back around like a lovesick hangover on a sunny day
like you know you're just sorrow bound but you go and meet the day anyway

always the one to leave, always the one who'd really want to stay
trying so hard to believe, trying to keep the hounds at bay
you kept me driving those backroads longer than I ever thought I would until you
put the fear of the great unknown back in me 'til I almost loved you

and now the tar's rising like mercury
off the asphalt glowing in the summer heat
on the open road underneath empty skies
and everywhere you turn the river's run dry
I only wanted to see the stars
on a cool, cloudless night
I'm twenty miles from the nearest town
clear out of sight

and blame's a losing game, and the last resort of a hard heart
in time it's all the same: in the end you finish where you start
rust on a junkyard chevy, dust on a desert plain
and the load, it's getting heavy...and I can hear the roll of the slow train

and now the tar's rising like mercury
off the asphalt glowing in the summer heat
on the open road underneath empty skies
and everywhere you turn the river's run dry
I only wanted to see the stars
on a cool, cloudless night
I'm twenty miles from the nearest town
clear out of sight
