Nanci Griffith - Cradle Of The Interstate lyrics

It's crystal breaking in the light of day It's the heat of the moon that's gone it's way And everybody's packing their wings to fly home Leaving me here In the cradle of the interstate alone Fair weather friends are a damn disease They drink my wine and take my money Fools are reaching for a dim spotlight shine If you want that shine You're gonna have to write your own damn lines It turns a warm heart cold Hey, clear this road Let me by I got fog in the foothills of Tenessee It's the Catsk** mountains And the Blue Ridge behind me Topping my list of all I need It's a warm cup of coffee And a bottle of whiskey beside me I worked so hard to build this living In a business of hard lines Where nobody's sharing Fools chase their tails For that Top 40 flight Now the only friend that holds me Is the cradle of the interstate It turns a warm heart cold Hey, clear this road Let me by It's crystal breaking in the light of day It's the heat of the moon Who's gone his way And everybody's packing their wings to fly home Leaving me here in the cradle of the interstate, alone Lullaby... Roll me gently in this cradle of the interstate home Lullaby... Roll me gently in this cradle of the interstate home Lullaby... Roll me gently in this cradle of the interstate home
