lyrics

My tires are torn, the wheel has turned
Since the last time my fuels burned
I needed to go where I needed to be
Ask the dust to tell a story about me

I travelled rocky plains and muddy waters
I drew pictures with the sky’s daughters
I found wisdom in the frontseat of this car
For the road tells stories about who you are

People said you can’t cross the desert that way
You either die or you will go back some day
But I chose the hard way out
Doubt and blame I could do without

I travelled rocky plains and muddy waters
Don’t worry darling we’ll make it across the border
Well I found wisdom in the frontseat of this car
For the road tells stories about who you are

The edges of this car branded by rust
Bruised and battered by unrelenting dust
Even though it seemed foolish I knew what I could do
Park this baby in the valley, next to you

I’ve got to keep on walking
We’ve got to keep keeping on, keeping on, keeping on…
