There's fire in the canyon
Rain on the plain
and an eerie kind of sadness
on the highway today
Was it driving together
That drove us apart
Or did we change directions
chasing arrows and hearts
We've been wondering alone
Such a long time
Lose our way we go town to town
Believe us to be born
Into a path straight and narrow
On every crooked road we travel down
And I'm checking out the road signs
Highway hotels
And their air-conditioned cable-ready
Cold padded cells
And we read them like stories
In trash magazines
But we ain;t really sure what it means
We've been wondering alone
Such a long time
Lose our way we go town to town
Believe us to be born
Into a path straight and narrow
On every crooked road we travel down
I ride this motorway
For a thousand miles a day
'Til the road runs outta black top
Or I will this world away
Each town is steeped in rain
And I know each one by name
'Cause this world is wrapped around me
And I wear it like a chain
NOTE THE KEY CHANGE HERE, AND THE REALLY COOL CHORD CHANGE ON THE VERY LAST LINE!
We've been wondering alone
Such a long time
Lose our way we go town to town
Believe us to be born
Into a path straight and narrow
On every crooked road we travel down
Believe us to be born
Into a path straight and narrow
On every crooked road we travel down
