lyrics

Someone is dying on the highway
Not miles from me
And I’m here under a tree
Sitting with the cactus
Watching the air turn into the breeze
And I’m thinking I’m glad it’s not
happening to me
But at least that mans free
Or at least he’s in a helicopter
riding to place where he just might be
Somewhere other than Sitting on the highway in traffic
looking for another way to get out of this doggone
desert of a mountain landscape
sprawling in front of me monotonous and roaming
But that’s all it is. It’s just one big world
It’s just one big wheel
that’s spinning and breaking and burning on the highway
With the rubber and the gasoline and the stones
Thinking about how I would just like to go on.
But I’m suffering nothing compared to the man whose probably lost his arm

[Chorus]
And the cars on the highway they think It never could be
they Think It Never Could Be them
But we are all driving as fast as we could be
as fast as we could be and then and then and then

All it takes is one false movement
A slip of the tongue [C]
One angry person on a highway full of guns
And the people on the bridge looking down at the nature
They’re trying to get to
But haven’t because they don’t know that they’re in it
And have been for a while
But are driving further to where
they thought would be
More nature More nature probably

And the cars on the highway they think It never could be
they Think It Never Could Be them
But we are all driving as fast as we could be
as fast as we could be and then and then and then

All it takes is one way of doing undoing itself
One side pushing the other end giving out
And I know you're gonna live the way you gotta live
And I know that the deal is that it's gonna feel like
You’re running over cat eyes and scraping the rails
But tonight there'll be singing and music and wails
Because tonight, TONIGHT! Is a night so ripe for life
