Rain falls slowly
Rain clouds keep drenching me in nicotine
My blue umbrella just won't keep me dry
Colors shine in street-side pools of gasoline
A glossy surface mirroring the sky
When blue turns black and starlight burns my vision
And cellos play their strings inside my head
It's all so clear I know the right decision
And every highway points me straight ahead
Keep your eyes on the road now
Red lights can't slow you down
Baby I know you'll get there somehow
Just don't forget your hometown
As morning comes the grey clouds block the milky way
That starry road has lost its clarity
Though raindrops fill the streets just like an ashtray
A little water never bothered me
I've seen it once I know its somewhere up there
And no amount of clouds can change my mind
For now I'll just stay on the road to everywhere
And stare into the stars till I go blind
Keep your eyes on the road now
Red lights can't slow you down
Baby I know you'll get there somehow
Just don't forget your hometown
