Headin' out west in my 5.0,
Thinkin' I still love who I let go,
Got a dream and I need to spill it,
Before I rest, sleep or sit still,
Now it looks like Lubbock will be comin' soon,
Looks like my luck will lead me to ruin,
Need more money,
Need a beer,
Left a girl now I need her here.
The cards came up and he was full of nines,
I'll find my way, but not tonight.
So I'm heading for ocean, the one to the left,
The windows are open like the wound in my chest,
Wind and rattles, I'm humming with them
Those radio towers, have got no rhythm.
The cards came up and he was full of deuces,
I'll find my way, if I ever get through this.
And it'll take all night, to run back to who I ran from,
It'll take all my life, to raise up and pay the ransom,
But I'll kiss her one more time I don't care if she hits me,
And I'll wear this highway down to a size that fits me,
And I'll curse you Henry Ford for ever doing this to me,
At least I'm still moving,
I'm still moving,
And I'm rollin' at ninety,
Sippin' the coffee,
A few things behind me,
But nothing's on top of me,
Got a secret and I want to spill it,
A stain on my jeans and a swallowed pill,
Now it looks like Vegas will be comin' soon,
Looks like my luck will lead me to ruin,
Top is down,
Nerves are shot,
But I'm flying this solo,
Ready or not,
Cards came up and he was full of Jacks,
I can make her mad but I can't get her back.
And it'll take all night, to run back to who I ran from,
It'll take all my life, to raise up and pay the ransom,
But I'll kiss her one more time I don't care if she hits me,
And I'll wear this highway down to a size that fits me,
And I'll fool myself and I'll tell myself I'm not losing.
Just cause I'm still moving,
I'm still moving,
And when the cards came up, the dude was full of Aces,
I'll find my way, but I'll never shake this,
Feeling that running's,
The only hope I have,
The only dream I've had,
The only love in my life.
