I've been living away from my home town
I strayed away from the farm
I've been gone a long time now
I've seen changes happening round here
Faces come and go
Now I'm back and it's like I'd never gone
I've been looking for better days
I've been looking for another way to live my life
And I've been looking for better days
Only a fool runs from his dreams
I've been running all my life
Red tail lights on the freeway line
Concrete blue and cold black steel, you can hear them diesels whine
Grinning used car salesman on the other line
Well it's midnight in the desert and the frost is coming down
The night time burns like a red hot wire
Everything is quiet now, you can watch the embers glow
Talk and stare until tomorrow
