i've been standing in the middle of a road for awhile now.
it runs through the desert in death valley.
the place where we couldn't sleep because of the sweat that poured off of us.
all i could think of were black widows and rattle snakes on the other side of the flimsy screen.
when we finally dozed off the coyotes came out and sang their harsh chorus to the moon for hours.

that's what's behind me anyways.
ahead lies what's next, the place that i'm headed.
and i'm standing in the middle of the road.
i know which way i've got to go, i'm just waiting for my ride.
