lyrics

At a counter in Connecticut
The regulars spell out words
The cashiers flirt with strangers
The hourlies wait their turn
A father orders tuna twice,
So he and his boy can eat
The couple nearby spelling,
Conversations from their seat

The man behind me gets a smile
From the woman across the shelf,
"Haven't seen ya in a while now,"
He says, “I haven't seen myself,
I been movin' so damn fast dear,
The time it really goes,
Been missing all the faces,
Missed my very own shadow."

95 through the northeast hills
Will show you other kinds,                  
With hearts and grits and patriots
Don’t wanna lose my mind

I ate a sandwich in New Hampshire,
Vermont not far behind,
We sat playing checkers,
In the only room we could find
A man with blue suspenders
Hadn't showered in a week
And I smelled him in my sandwich
As he hovered near our seat

Stranded along a riverbank
Inside Bangor Maine,
No cars on the road that night,
Ground turned mud from rain,
A toothless man with no sleeves,
Points us down the road,
We try our luck out in the dark
But don’t know where to go



95 through the northeast hills
Will show you other kinds,                  
With hearts and grits and patriots
Don’t wanna lose my mind

The winds of change rush by my ears
They tell me its time to move
Cause lately all my change
Has turned to parking meter food
So I hop back onto 95
And I find my place in line
I don’t need directions
When I’m looking for a sign

Now my bodies going 70
Head creeps behind at 10
I promised you I’d hurry home
But I guess I lied again
There’s time to let your mind drift
When your trip takes you this far
But you wont find no peace
Til you step outside your car
