I write your name in the dust that settles on the car And I'd get in and I'd drive to wherever you are I'd drive away, I'd drop everything I'd leave the whole world dangling Cross circuits, cross town, cross countryside And I'm fading fast into the scenery But let it go, let it go Let it all sweep over me And my head it aches for the sight of you For your unsteady hand How I hate myself Humor me with cruelty Fill all the cracks with tar And we played in the sticky sweet New Orleans sun From the concrete to grass We struggle for dear life And I write your name in the dust that settles on the car And I'd get in and I'd drive to wherever you are I'd drive away, I'd drop everything I'd leave the whole world dangling
