Pulling out of Omaha
Riding on the bookmobile
Fingers on an old guitar
Trying to find a feel
Lord I just can't sleep tonight
Not when we're moving this fast
Trying to occupy my mind
Watching the cornfields pass
Though it's plain to see
What's in front of me
Though I know it's real
I'm never gonna feel it all the way
It's always time to go
Another town another show
Waiting down this dark empty road
Out where nothing lasts
Everything is fading fast
Spent the night in Chi-Town
Drinking with Intemperate Sons
Every time my glass was down
They said bring him another one
Somebody wanted my autograph
As I stumbled from the hotel bar
Man all I could do was laugh
And wonder how'd I get this far
Though it's plain to see
What's in front of me
Though I know it's real
I'm never gonna feel it all the way
It's always time to go
Another town another show
Waiting down this dark empty road
Out where nothing lasts
Everything is fading fast
All the songs I never play
All the words I never say
I just can't stand to say goodbye
So I'll see you down the line
Standing at the truck stop
Shivering at the payphone wall
My manger says that my single's been dropped
And my sales are beginning to stall
They want me to do more interviews
I say please my voice is shot
I'm trying to save it for the show tonight
'Cause that's the only thrill I got
Though it's plain to see
What's in front of me
Though I know it's real
I'm never gonna feel it all the way
It's always time to go
Another town another show
Waiting down this dark empty road
Out where nothing lasts
Everything is fading fast
Everything is fading fast
Everything is fading fast
