Dead end town, we couldn't breathe
Midnight hour we took our leave
And as you drove you said, 'My love, we are gone for good'
You swore you'd never miss that town
I admitted that I would

And we drove on, on and on and on
I said, 'I believe we're going home,
I'm just not sure where it is
But we'll find a place to rest if we have to drive from coast to coast
And I believe we're getting close
I believe we're getting close
I do believe we're getting close'

'That town almost killed us both', you said
'But I guess I'm gonna miss my friends'
And as you drove you began to doubt what we had done
Was it too late to turn back now?
I grabbed the wheel and carried on

And we drove on, on and on and on
I said, 'I believe we're going home,
I'm just not sure where it is
But we'll find a place to rest if we have to drive from coast to coast
And I believe we're getting close
I believe we're getting close
I do believe we're getting close'

And as I raced for the horizon you got surrounded by tall fences
You thought about the consequences
You thought you must have lost your senses
You said you'd telephone a ride
I pulled over to the side

I thought you'd always run with me
But now I know that wasn't meant to be
So I drove down that endless highway
And you went back to what we'd known
Red sky in the morning
So far away and all alone

And I drove on, on and on and on
I still believe I'm going home,
I'm just not sure where it is
But I'll find a place to rest if I have to drive from coast to coast
And I believe I'm getting close
I believe I'm getting close
I do believe I'm getting close
I still believe I'm getting close
