Lyrics
Counting down the hours till my final heart failure
For the dream I can't catch but still am running after
Stretching out for the last stretch of a drive
Away from the prison cell of what’s become of my life
I can barely see the traces of who I thought
By this time I’d have grown up to be
I can almost feel the different air of freedom
Coming over me
Two hands on the wheel I can’t believe how free it feels
To drive and drive for hours just to sing my songs
And then to another bed
That stinks of bleach and dirty mattresses
Trysts gone wrong, I'm all alone in another big city
I am driving just before the sun comes up
I am listening to hours of static on the radio
I am running after, chasing this elusive dream
I can barely see the traces of who I thought
By this time I’d have grown up to be
I can almost taste the different air of freedom
Coming over me
