There's a foggy blank destination For your mind and let your heart be your guide And there are many paths and expectations And the shortcuts never fulfill your desires There was a place and I really wanted to see it I knew it'd take a long time but I went anyhow When I got there I only stood a minute And the long drive is all I remember now Endless stars in the highway skies Open eyes in the headlights line Many fears in this trail of tears is growin' You can't stop wind from blowin' When your NASCAR worlds finally shift gears To your surprise, adjust your eyes and you can't see clearly enough For you to wonder, how did I get here" And you snap back on the track to race the years But take a long slow drag off of your cigarette Save a quiet moment for your ears And let a long sigh It's sometimes good to cry And let now be the reason that you're here Endless scars in the city bars Open eyes in the nightlife flies Many fears in this trail of tears is long It lasts until you're gone.
