Lyrics:

All along the interstate
The palm trees were calling out to me
The line of them stretched fown the highway forever
As far as I could see
I waited til the sun was coming up
Light morning traffic and a cool spring breeze
I heard the old voices calling down
From the tops of the trees

When I got up to the top, my head got light
For a minute everything in the world was alright
I saw the next tree just 10 feet away
Give or take a few feet I guess
Then I pushed off into the air with all my might
Headed out into the center of the morning light
I knew that I was gonna make it
The new tree hardly shook to acknowledge my arrival
I knew that I would be alright
