Between the doors, shakin' heads and thinking 
Light about who you're with, where you are 
Blue lightning hittin' trees and lighting 
Roads won't let me get too down 'cause 
Sometimes you can be let down 
  
You move on ahead in quicksand 
And you hope you're still goin' east boy 
It's dreamy all day drives and short parades 
And I won't let it mess with my head 
Just grin and live it 
While you can...with wonderment 
  
With eyes wide open 
I'm taking in all I can 
The small town darkness 
Is singing by 
In trance...I'm feeling glad 
  
You and your friends drink, laugh 
And pass out, keeping good things close 
Fought till the end, it's hard to keep it all fun 
I won't let it mess with my head 
Won't let it mess with 
Sleeping friends or their wonderment 

Though the day's been really long 
I still feel I'm close to nowhere 
And I wouldn't let no one take my place 
A warm bed, in my head I can see 
The tidal wave of disappointment 
See the lights shining over there 
Through the night I am on the way
