One laydown machine 
Burned a road 
Right through the prairie 
Stream of boiling ash 
Painted up with perfect lines 
Discount labor packing 
Each lane 
Bargain basement homes 
Sewn to the road 
Slipshod directions 
Do not explain 

I got these shoes for nothing 
And they have lasted me forever 
Searching up and down the lost highway 

I can read the grid 
I have memorized the key 
Counting every inch 
From C-4 to J-3 
I can think in scale 
'Cause I know it ain't 
On my map 
Scraping off the typeset 
Dig into the atlas 

Well they can paint it up 
Make it appear to go somewhere 
Well they can paint it up 
But I know where it doesn't lead
