Ghost Mice - Austin To El Paso lyrics

It's a ten-hour drive to our next show Across the western wasteland With no gigs in between And the gas gauge says we are empty But that's okay 'cause we don't burn gasoline We burn our dreams We burn our hopes This van should have died a hundred-thousand miles ago But it keeps going We've got our good-luck charms on the dashboard I've been driving all day I've been driving all night I think i can drive for the rest of my whole life And when i feel like i'm about to fall asleep I just stare at the taillights of the truck in front of me And i pretend that they are eyes And the bumper is a mouth Filled with red and white teeth And it guides me safely to the sunrise again But if by chance i fall asleep at the wheel tonight And crash and die Construct a roadside monument To commemorate my life And honk your horn every time that you drive by And i will be so grateful I will be so grateful Just to know that you still care And i will be so thankful Yes, i will be so thankful Know that somebody's still there This road is a long and ugly road but This road kind of feels like my home I'm always aching To find out just exactly where it goes Icarus made some wings and tried to fly up to the sun Even though everybody told him that it could not be done So he died, but at least he tried And i bet that he had fun And you may say there's not a lot to see on this drive And i guess you would be right But you're never gonna see the stars shine this bright And i don't know what it is we hope we'll find But i plan on lookin' for it all of my life Because i feel like something must be missing Something's missing Can't you feel that empty feeling inside Doesn't it make you wanna get in your car Or run your bike and ride Just to see what you might find out there So i wear my tires thin I'll destroy the soles on my shoes I'll walk into the wind And i'll send postcards back to you I'll miss my dearest friends And i'll miss this city too But i'll feel bound, obligated To do what i have to do 'Cause the sun never really sets No the sun never goes down We're just spinning Around and around and around and around and around No the sun never really sets No the sun never goes down We're just spinning Around and around and around and around and around And around and around
