Driving down that highway
Dodging a million potholes
The bridges are crumbling
You better watch out below
And there's orange barrels everywhere
Like the flowers in spring
And the sign says Cleveland
35 miles to go
35 miles to go
Flashing lights up ahead
The ambulance screams
Helicopter's buzzing
The radios playing the Smithereens
Traffic is crawling
Horns are squawking just like crows
And the sign says Cleveland
35 miles to go
35 miles to go
Somewhere a dog is barking
In this suburban wasteland
Is that you I hear callin'
You know I'm driving just like mad
'Cuz the road is clear
All the way to the Promised Land
And the sign says Welcome to Cleveland
Only 35 miles to go
35 miles to go
