driving down the road

in a foreign town

and the streets and the sun

making my head go round

one eye in the mirror

for the sleeping low

and I'm driving down the road

with my foot on the floor



well it seems like I've

been running for a week

and I hardly know my name

I can't stand the heat

running under cover

I'm running alone

and I'm running from the mess

that I left at home



chorus

so far away

on the longest day

so far, so far away

on the longest day



well I never never wanted

to know your name

and I never thought

I'd see your face again

but I'm looking for a bed

or a place to sleep

for a friend at the end

of a dead end street



chorus



I've been drinking on my own

and sleeping in my car

and I never knew the road

could go so far

all the way to heaven

it'll turn you cold

if your dreams always die

by the side of the road
