There's a highway that runs right through this town Just a stream of light when the sun goes down She'd look out the window to the west One day this note was all she left Right now you don't see, but you're just like me (CHORUS) River of stone, wild and lonely Can you show me what lies beyond Take me where they don't know me By tomorrow morning I'll be gone
This old town is way too small You've seen one face, you've seen 'em all The only way things will ever change Is to set your feet on the outbound lane Oh how did she know one day I would follow? (REPEAT CHORUS) (BRIDGE) Some got to move, some just stand still Some take their chances, some never will (REPEAT CHORUS)
