After three nights in jail, I head north from Toyaville Switch to 285 in Pecos, head up to Red Bluff
My walk's real steady and my eyes are real cold When I feel like I'm only sixteen years old Lost in a travel lodge With the television on with the sound down I don't feel so tough Old issues of sunset magazine to read Sleep for twelve hours Dream about home
I have no place to go So I drive up to New Mexico Fix my eyes in the rearview when I cross the stateline And I panic I guess And although it's quite late I take the first exit to 128 I am coming back to Midland and I hope you won't mind
Polaroids of the two of us Scattered on the passenger seat I drive slowly and eat early And I dream about home
