It’s time to go- time I was leaving

I don’t need his moody blues

He says I’m crazy- Well I think he’s lazy

So I’ll just put on my driving shoes

Out front it’s the highway stretched out before me

My forehead’s dripping- the steering wheels on fire

My eyes still bloodshot from the night before

Sun is blazing while I trace the double yellow line

All alone I am smiling

I ain’t seen no mileage signs in a while

I will remain on this highway

Until I lay my body down

Floating down the Rio Grande in a raft with my best friend

There ain’t another soul around for miles

We pitch a tent by firelight tell stories and play all night

Stars shine upon us like a million signal fires

I’ve come a long way to get where I’m going

One hundred miles- only a million more

But I’ve got this fire it burns so bright

Shines like a diamond on the desert floor

All alone I am smiling

I ain’t had no crazy fights in a while

I will remain on this highway

Until I lay my body down

All alone I am smiling

I ain’t had no crazy fights in a while

I will remain on this highway

Until I lay my body down

Until I lay my body down

Until I lay my body down

Until I lay my body down

Till I lay my body down

Till I lay my body down
