Leaving town at a quarter past six

I found a lash and made a last wish

Over hills of sunken eyes

A highway through suburban skies



And there's a bridge along the surface of the sky

I'm gonna drive and see the other side

So long, I say

As I watch it all receding



Running from the past into tomorrow

Headlights open view

I'm hoping that the night will let me follow

Headlights will tell the truth



See the trucks come a rumbling by

They all chase the black knit sky

From Santa Fe to Pismo Beach

A 20 oz cup and an old CB



They want a lover who will make it all safe

To give em cover as they run the whole race

And dreaming in diesel will last

on a full tank



I'm running from the past into tomorrow

Headlights open view

I'm hoping that the night will let me follow

Headlights open road



See em all fly right by

In sepia tone, the entire sky

I'm driving on the lines I used to follow



Oh, oh

They judge you quick

Turn diamonds into coal

Oh, oh

Well that jungle's quick to

Rip apart your soul, baby

We are free now on the highway

There's a Chevy moving steady going my way

Over white sand, through the flat lands

I'm heading there



See the dawn creepin' real slow

Hit that gas and just let it all go

Watch the night moving now fast

Take her hand and you never look back

I'm running from the past into tomorrow

Headlights open view

I'm hoping that the night will let me follow

Headlights open road

Headlights open road
