Only five more miles til we cross the state line
Only five more fenced-in amber waves of grain
Do you feel sick from the motion girls?
Do we need to stop again?
Only five more water towers til we find our exit sign
Only five more letters in our little alphabet game
Don't forget the sunset over the ocean girls
But watch the smoke coming from the train
Remember when there used to be a man in there
Who would wave at you from the red caboose?
And the wheels would scream loud and loose as over the pavement
You blew a kiss to a stranger.
Always blowing kisses to strangers
Oh to be loved and lost it gets easier
You get used to it
This broken pavement is covered with rocks
But we'll move with it
We'll just move with it
I've been living in this town to long
I want to get in my car and drive
Open the windows while it's raining
Just to feel alive
Funny how headed West on I 40 to the wrong side of the Mississippi
It's like you're headed for America's great Purgatory
How do find peace of mind in Arkansas?
I used to dream of Oklahoma
