There's a simple life somewhere Out there in the cold If it's dead, I don't care I'm already too old The window feels like winter It makes me think of home My thought's been split to splinters On this lonely, teenage road Have you seen my possessions? I think I left them in Omaha I've got no obsessions As we pass through Arkansas Can you play our song? Only if you sing it with me And if you've been driving too long Give the control back to me There's a ringing in my ear It's the voice of an angel speak Tell me, I want to hear Your stories awaken me This wheel's on fire now Just like our skin and our hearts And before it's over now Can you tear me apart? I've been in here too long I can't stand the engine noise I need to get back home And have a drink with the boys Can you fill up the tank? Can you bring me to the end? Don't take this to the bank But I want to see you again

A Beautiful Woman Asked Me To Write About The Road
There's a simple life somewhere Out there in the cold If it's dead, I don't care I'm already too old The window feels like winter It makes me think of home My thought's been split to splinters On this lonely, teenage road Have you seen my possessions? I think I left them in Omaha I've got no obsessions As we pass through Arkansas Can you play our song? Only if you sing it with me And if you've been driving too long Give the control back to me There's a ringing in my ear It's the voice of an angel speak Tell me, I want to hear Your stories awaken me This wheel's on fire now Just like our skin and our hearts And before it's over now Can you tear me apart? I've been in here too long I can't stand the engine noise I need to get back home And have a drink with the boys Can you fill up the tank? Can you bring me to the end? Don't take this to the bank But I want to see you again
