American Roads - Noah Reid

Side of the highway

Rain pourin' down

And I can’t remember where I was headed to now

Red stone on the dashboard

My head in the clouds

I get in my lane baby I don’t want to get out

Can’t take it for granted

When you feel this alive

Give a nod to the crosses all along the roadside

It’s hard to imagine that I didn’t want to learn how to drive

Roll down the window now just to let in the sky

Radio on and my left foot tappin'

Things I know and the things I imagine

The people I’ve seen in the cars I’m passin'

Rearview mirror and the red lights flashin'

Oh please lord don’t let it happen

Sunlight on the canyon

Thin layer of snow

A bullet hole in a motel window and a burnin' mobile home

And the wheel in your hand is the only thing you control

The world’s just whippin' on past you like a line of telephone poles

The gasoline in the air I’m breathin'

The things I doubt and the things I believe in

The feeling you have when it’s more than a feeling

The city I trust, and the city I’m leavin'

Oh maybe we’ll just call it even

There’s a crack in my windshield

And I’m hopin' it holds

There’s a crack in everything I hold close to my soul

And the woman I’m next to, she’ll never get old

I’ll never forget you on American roads
