lyrics

Headin' down the coast
With Kerouac's ghost
To the land of
The redwood tree

Just tryin' to outrun
The settin' of the sun
I got a dark cloud
Followin' me

Give me coffee in the morning
And sleeping pills at night
I'll be on the road
Before the cold
Is thawed by mornin' light

Seen the sun go down
In so many different places
Study lines like roadmaps
On all these stranger's faces
My heart breaks leavin'
So I'll give you a piece
Hold on to it honey
When I head Back East

The lights of long-haul truckers
Passin' by on the lost highway
Like fireflies, synchronized
Just lookin' for a mate

Fogged up cars
'Neath the stars
And the smile
Of an endless summer
I'd like to dedicate this one
To all you late-night lovers

Seen the sun go down
In so many different places
Study lines like roadmaps
On all these stranger's faces
My heart breaks leavin'
So I'll give you a piece
Hold on to it honey
When I head Back East

It's a hard pill to swallow
It's one we all learn
When you're lookin'
In the rearview
At the bridges
You've burned

You can stand
In a crowd of people
And never feel more alone
You can sleep
Where you're expected
But it may never be your home

Seen the sun go down
In so many different places
Study lines like roadmaps
On all these stranger's faces
My heart breaks leavin'
So I'll give you a piece
Hold on to it honey
When I head Back East
