driving down the road in a foreign town and the streets and the sun making my head go round one eye in the mirror for the sleeping low and I'm driving down the road with my foot on the floor well it seems like I've been running for a week and I hardly know my name I can't stand the heat running under cover I'm running alone and I'm running from the mess that I left at home chorus so far away on the longest day so far, so far away on the longest day well I never never wanted to know your name and I never thought I'd see your face again but I'm looking for a bed or a place to sleep for a friend at the end of a dead end street chorus I've been drinking on my own and sleeping in my car and I never knew the road could go so far all the way to heaven it'll turn you cold if your dreams always die by the side of the road
