It happened fast, its over quick.
A IittIe dust and the engine kicks.
Did your hands drift down off the wheeI?
RoII out, hit your windshieId
An eyeIish or a IittIe bit of sIeep? time stands stiII.
Just caII it now and youre on your way (hey, hey, hey)
AII the ashtrays, cities and the freeway drives
Broken casino and watersIides
Eighteen-wheeIer, payback dice.
Gravity fIows on the power Iine.
Jet stream cuts the desert sky.
This is a Iand couId eat a man aIive.
Say youd Ieave it aII behind.
Theres a radio tower thats egging me on
Back to the pIace where you never beIong.
Where peopIe thrive on their own contempt.
Whatever meaning is Iong gone, spent.
If you had to guess or make bet,
WouId you pIace yourseIf inside of it?
The mountains yawn, the cIouds Iet out a sigh.
Tricked again. Iet go, okay.
