Lyrics
Interstate
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.
Well, the fact of the matter
There ain't no facts involved
Take it further
It doesn't matter
Well out here on the border
Ants drag bones across the hot dry ground
and over there at the trailer park
They got a million souls at the lost and found
Well you should have known better
Dead thoughts and lost horizons
And to take it further
It don't get any better
Well out here on the border
Ain't nobody asking questions
No I don't need a miracle
But I could use a push in the right direction
Handgun and a bottle of Boone's
and a "69" Ford and a new pair of shoes
Left from Boise Idaho '95
When they crossed the state line
They were just in time to fall
Asleep at the wheel
Last fact of the matter
Never was no facts involved
And to take it further
It never really matters
Well out here on the border
Ants drag bones across the hot dry ground
and over there at the trailer park
They got a million souls at the lost and found
Handgun and a bottle of Boone's
And a "69" Ford and a new pair of shoes
Left from Boise Idaho '95
So I was just in time to miss
the Five O'Clock news
The velvet black Interstate was something to feel
$5.99 and a stone cold meal
ANOTHER BOTTLE OF WINE
I was feelin' just fine
And when i crossed the state line
I was just in time
To fall asleep at the wheel
Handgun and a bottle of Boone's
And a "69" Ford and a new pair of shoes
Left from Boise Idaho '95
So I was just in time to miss
the Five O'Clock news
The velvet black Interstate was something to feel
$5.99 and a stone cold meal
ANOTHER BOTTLE OF WINE
I was feelin' just fine
And when i crossed the state line
I was just in time To fall--
Handgun and a bottle of Boone's
And a "69" Ford and a new pair of shoes
Left from Boise Idaho '95
So I was just in time to miss
the Five O'Clock news
The velvet black Interstate was something to feel
$5.99 and a stone cold meal'
ANOTHER BOTTLE OF WINE
I was feelin' just fine
And when i crossed the state line
I was just in time To fall
asleep at the wheeeel ...
