Lyrics:

It's a long strecth of highway

At midnight in New Mexico

It's a small colored light

That shines from your car radio

It's the only motel on earth

Who sleeps on a cot

And gives you the very last cup from his pot



It's a lonely feeling, it's what you've got

It's a lonely feeling, like it or not



It's the crack in the sidewalk

Right next to a pay telephone

It's someone's recording

When you're hoping someone is home

It's an hour to kill

To do what you please

But nobody's up for shooting the breeze



It's a lonely feeling, it's like a disease

It's a lonely feeling, you pray that it leave



It's three men from Chili

Who are tired and want to go home

They've run out of money

And they're stuck up in east Oregon

So you give them the small bit of change in your hand

You try to speak Spanish but they don't understand



It's a lonely feeling, it gets to a man

It's a lonely feeling, that runs through the land



It's your best friend from highschool

Who see's you and wishes you well

You try to breakthrough

But you run out of stories tell

So you bid him goodbye and you step into space

There are so many questions that you cannot face



It's a lonely feeling, taking his place

It's a lonely feeling, you can't erase



It's statue of Jesus your grandmother had when she died

All cracked and all yellow

And you know you should throw it aside

You've grown religious, the older you get

You haven't been saved

But it could happen yet



It's a lonely feeling, full of regret

It's a lonely feeling, won't let you forget



It's a bus stop, a street cop, a old dog, a new kid, a bone

It's fried and rejected

Neglected, and blind after dawn

But you're looking in the mirror

And you're still hanging here

To remind you how lucky you've been



It's a lonely feeling, now and again

It's only a feeling that comes now and then...
