Main highway
U.S.A.
Cold night in Kansas, Kansas
Dues you pay
Your breakdown approaching
Flat tire
Or something that you can't repair
Dead wire
The engine stalls; you're stranded there
Look up there
From nowhere
Just one direction open
And you're light as air
This can't be
Check again
The road map doesn't show this exit for a
Good hundred miles
It's just the same old story
Townspeople tell me
How a fellow's plans can change
As fast as lighting
At once natural and strange
They won't see him anymore
After exit 34
The moonlight
So bright tonight
Despite the clouds in covering
Splendid sight
Your Chrysler
Is rusting
No need for further gasoline or water
The seasons raced around the globe
And caught her
Walk once more
As before
Into the brilliance that enfolds you
Past time's door
Why linger
In darkness
Your eyes have once again been opened wide
Soon you'll be back to take another ride
Townspeople tell me
How a fellow's plans can change
As fast as lighting
At once natural and strange
Pull down the curtain
Nothing's really out of range
Endless feelings to explore
All of history and more
You're the one who keeps the score
Out on exit 34
