Long line of bright lights, it's Saturday night
I know when the band start's playin' I don't know what I'm doing with my life
The bright light of a neon sign shines like a dream,
And carries me away like an angel, in a big black limousine.
Time and misery, they want the best of me
But I'm feeling fine, about as far as you can see
Yes I can hold the mountains in the palm of my hand
I can make the world, something we can understand
Times likes these seem to move slow, they follow you wherever you go
You can run fast, but don't run far, you can't ever forget who you are
Straight and narrow, crooked is the way
The world keeps you weary, and people never stay the same
Don't let your mind wonder on someone else's last name
Don't ever worry, about things that you can't change
There was a time Peggy Sue drove a Cadillac
Sailed on down a two-lane highway, and threw me in the back
Now I often wonder where my life did go
But I keep rollin', and I put it on for show
Times likes these seem to move slow, they follow you wherever you go
You can run fast, but don't run far, you can't ever forget who you are
Long line of bright lights, it's Saturday night
And I know when the band starts playin' I don't know what I'm doing with my life
The bright light of a neon sigh shines like a dream.
And carries me away like an angel, in a big black limousine
In a big black limousine
In a big black limousine
