Highways And Cigarettes - Son Volt

Got caught up in a breakaway dream

Destination city of New Orleans

Cheap motels and big-rig swells

Crossing bridges for eternity

Headed west for a two week stand

And saw the poets of work-a-day glasses

Las Cruces is a part of you now

Desert bird sings songs of laughter

Still out there with the coffee stain

And puttin' miles on shoes

Can’t escape the smell of cigarettes

Still livin' out these American late-night blues

Best to clear the mind

With a Mexicali radio station

Keep an eye out for the border patrol

Checkin' for drugs and so called aliens

Highways and dreams forever together

In the minds of the free and the innocent

Always a future in a travelers hands

Starting fires on the river and madness

Still out there with the coffee stains

And puttin' miles on shoes

Can’t escape the smell of cigarettes

Still livin' out these American late-night blues

Still out there with the coffee stains

And puttin' miles on shoes

Can’t escape the smell of cigarettes

Still livin' out these American late-night blues
