Roads won't let me get too down 'cause/ Sometimes you can be let down 
  
 You move on ahead in quicksand/ And you hope you're still goin' east boy/ It's dreamy all day drives and short parades/ And I won't let 
 it mess with my head/ Just grin and live it/ While you can...with wonderment 
  
 With eyes wide open/ I'm taking in all I can/ The small town darkness/ Is singing by/ In trance...I'm feeling glad 
  
 You and your friends drink, laugh/ And pass out, keeping good things close/ Fought till the end, it's hard to keep it all fun/ I won't let it 
 mess with my head/ Won't let it mess with / Sleeping friends or their wonderment 
  
 Though the day's been really long/ I still feel I'm close to nowhere/ And I wouldn't let no one take my place/ A warm bed, in my head I 
 can see/ The tidal wave of disappointment/ See the lights shining over there/ Through the night I am on the way
