It happened fast, it's over quick A little dust and the engine kicks Did your hands drift down off the wheel? A road owl hit your windshield An eyelash or a little bit of sleep? Time stands still Just call it now and you're on your way (hey, hey hey, hey) All the ashtrays, cities and the freeway drives Broken casino and waterslide Eighteen-wheeler, payback dice Gravity pulls on the power line Jet stream cuts the desert sky This is a land could eat a man alive Say you'd leave it all behind (hey, hey hey, hey)
