lyrics

On the road to McCarthy you drove me insane
On your walnut flute down the tracks of the train
Air getting thinner the higher we get
We have no intention of stopping yet
The money I had is running low
Since saying goodbye to Mexico
But I don’t want to go home

Four hours of darkness and the rest is light
I never got any sleep under Alaskan skies
Fires are burning and the moon is red
My body is heavy under the weight of your head
The cold wind blowing down off the plains
Is the kind that would drive us insane
If we were on our own

You had no intentions of doing what you should
And I gave you every part of me that I could
That big old man breathing down your neck
He never could keep your spirit in check
And your walking fast from that dark house
I’m looking at you as you’re storming out
The road you walk has already been blown
But don’t look back, it’s not your home
