Jayber Crow - Utah lyrics

Perched atop the Interstate, Some faceless thought, Some placeless place to sleep Then drive again The steady breaths of slumbering My friends, they sleep, And I'm thinkin' I'll run Before mornin' Down that road there waits a lifetime Says move out, get in somehow Somethin' in me just won't stick Keeps slippin' out should be slippin' now, tonight Back in Utah, rocks and rust There's miles of salt, upward thrust and time To wear it down Wind and water never stop They tear it down, they build it up We live As though they're still The landscape breathes as it recedes Like a testament, red ribbons Nothing's stable as it seems See????, slippin' out tonight It will have to comfort me In troubled times like these nights when I just leave And think of red rocks crumbling Washed away and carried out to sea.
