Barnaby Bright - Don't Look Down lyrics

We never knew the trouble down the road We just hit the gas and kept on driving The rain was falling fast The wipers beat lopsided rhythms in the darkness Headlights from the head on cars threw light Against the gla**, exploding diamonds And we were driving way too fast Running from the past we left behind us We didn't wanna know Didn't wannna see the ground Like walking a tight rope Just keep moving don't look down We pulled into a truck stop Somewhere just outside of Needles California You asked me for ten bucks and I said “What about the last ten bucks I loaned you?” We stumbled through the aisles trading secret smiles And laughing at the owners The newspapers read ‘Garcia Dead!' You cried and I tried to console you We didn't wanna know Didn't wannna see the ground Like walking a tight rope Just keep moving don't look down
