Petrified World

staring at this world through a windshield
seeing all I’ve ever dreamed
the smiling faces of the people who pass by
feels like I’m staring at a movie screen
a thousand signs we pass in the daylight
telling me where to go
a thousand miles to get where I’m going
another night, another rock’n’roll show
oooh, baby, since I felt this good,
I don’t remember when
oooh, baby, it feels so good to find myself again
it’s been a while since I’ve been out east
I heard the highway call my name
west coast has been good to me
and now it’s gas, food, lodging and a cigarette stop
I love the north,
but the wind is does your head in
It’s time to head back south
Three months time passed like clockwork
I watch the words as they fall from your mouth
oooooh, baby, since I felt this good
I don’t remember when
oooooh, baby, it feels so good to find myself again
oooooh, baby, it’s a petrified world
I ain’t scared
the sun is gonna rise again
I ain’t gonna take a fall
the sun is gonna rise again.
Na, na, na, na, na, na …
the radio plays over and over
the songs all sound the same
there’s a black top sun on the hardtop
how much longer can I play this game?
live music and a steel guitar
it’s all I wanna hear
I’m just waiting for the wheels to fall off
hope my band can make it back next year.
Na, na, na, na, na, na …
