Toledo, Ohio
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
as the salt on your skin
heals the wounds
rub it in, rub it in
'til I see tumbleweeds
blowing through my head like toledo, ohio
are we blessed
are we cursed
are we messed-up or worse
either or neither nor
we're tumbleweeds
what are we mumbling for?
what are we tumbling toward?
take me - one way or another
are we dead or alive
drivin' I-75
hard to say either way
tumbleweeds blowing through my head like toledo, ohio
pretty eyes pretty lips
pretty thighs pretty hips
pretty hip - we will feed tumbleweeds
what are we waiting for?
take me - one way or another
when you have no destination in your head
any road will take you there
I don't care where
(it's not about arriving)
does it even matter one way or another
rust is just a slow form of fire
in my tail lights
take me - one way or another
