Well, you're out there on the highway

While you're drivin' a-roll on by

Goin' south between the bridges

While the river's runnin' dry

Now you're talkin', where ya goin'?

On the train that sees the road

'Cross the nation, passing stations

While the night is as black as coal

And if you can't come home

Well, if your handle ain't, on your heartbeat

And you're headed between the sheet

And the sign isn't from the lamp post

On the corner of the street

...
