Run as far as fear will take you Down a highway late at night Running our mouths about the government And hoping like hell we make it home alive Two and a half weeks of living with a purpose Cut across the heart of America Hoping to see things a little bit clearer And lose the desperation tailing us So just follow the lines And throw the map out and drive And let fate be the guide Hold everything tight Roll the windows down and breathe in the air of this country Watch the moon roll across the dash Why do somethings seem to take forever When the things you want so bad don't seem to last You fell asleep with your head on the window I saw the sun rise at the Tennessee line For a second I saw myself a year ago Before I knew what it felt like to be alive
