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
