I was driving in the middle of nowhere
It was dark outside and cold
Looking for a little of somewhere
A place I can call my home
I got no destination
Just driving down the road
A man can't reap what he's too afraid to sow
Last night I had a crazy dream
You were with me in my room
Maybe it's a message, a message from above
Don't ever run away run away from Love
Driving down the road again
Thinking about that dream
But I feel I'm going round in circles
A road to nowhere it seems
Take another drink and sing those blues
Don't get anywhere until you pay those dues
Still looking for the road to freedom
I can tell it's not far away
Maybe I'll find it tomorrow
Or maybe get lucky today
Gotta find that place
I have traveled far and wide
Down backroads on my own
Somewhere deep inside
I don't really want to be alone
Try to fix me up but I can't hang around
I just might end up, end up in your town.
In your town
