Naked - Headlights lyrics

rate me

Leaving town at a quarter past six<br />

I found a lash and made a last wish<br />

Over hills of sunken eyes<br />

A highway through suburban skies<br />

And there's a bridge along the surface of the sky<br />

I'm gonna drive and see the other side<br />

So long, I say<br />

As I watch it all receding<br />

Running from the past into tomorrow<br />

Headlights open view<br />

I'm hoping that the night will let me follow<br />

Headlights will tell the truth<br />

See the trucks come a rumbling by<br />

They all chase the black knit sky<br />

From Santa Fe to Pismo Beach<br />

A 20 oz cup and an old CB<br />

They want a lover who will make it all safe<br />

To give em cover as they run the whole race<br />

And dreaming in diesel will last<br />

On a full tank<br />

I'm running from the past into tomorrow<br />

Headlights open view<br />

I'm hoping that the night will let me follow<br />

Headlights open road<br />

See em all fly right by<br />

In sepia tone, the entire sky<br />

I'm driving on the lines I used to follow<br />

Oh, oh<br />

They judge you quick<br />

Turn diamonds into coal<br />

Oh, oh<br />

Well that jungle's quick to <br />

Rip apart your soul, baby<br />

We are free now on the highway<br />

There's a Chevy moving steady going my way<br />

Over white sand, through the flat lands<br />

I'm heading there<br />

See the dawn creepin' real slow<br />

Hit that gas and just let it all go<br />

Watch the night moving now fast<br />

Take her hand and you never look back<br />

I'm running from the past into tomorrow<br />

Headlights open view<br />

I'm hoping that the night will let me follow<br />

Headlights open road<br />

Headlights open road
