Far Lights

When I was six years old, I used to reach that road

And when the sun went down, I could see those far lights glowin'

I stood there for a while, then I went back to my house

Thinkin' about the far lights

The people in this town, walk starin' at the ground

I had nothin' to say, so I went to watch those lights

And then a friend of mine, he told me "it's just another town"

I said "I don't believe you !"

But I've never been so brave to check if he was right

So I'm wanderin' around

Watchin' trucks passin' by

Never gonna hitch a ride

To the far lights

A sad blue neon light, is shinin' in this bar

And when she came inside, she spoke with sparklin' eyes

She asked about those lights, they told her "it's a town"

She cried "I don't believe you !"

So I took her hand and then we ran outside

In a breathless run

We went straight to the roadside

We were tryin' to hitch a ride

To the far lights

At the city limits sign, I felt she had a start

Her hand slipped off from mine, and she whispered "goodbye"

And when I turned around, she was no more in sight

I thought "I must believe it !"

Took a deep breath then I kept on with my ride

In a breathless run

I kept runnin' straight on

Still hitchin' a ride

To the far lights

I ran lookin' ahead

All along the roadside

I was tryin' to hitch a ride

To the far lights
