Well  I woke up wondering where I sat  just like I always do
I-80  up ahead laid out like a  lazy bitch on a  Sunday afternoon
We're  30 miles from Cleveland, ain't stopping, ain't even passing  through
At  night we'll stop in Pittburgh but  Philly's where we're  going to
I  talked to my mom today, she  seems like she's  doing fine  now
Tell  her I'd been getting sick again, we  both pretend we  don't know why
She  says 'one more drop of rain'...she swears we'll all be drowned alive
And  she asked me how my father's been, we  both pretend we  don't know  why
I  got a friend upstate, he's  got a place where I  can get away from it  all
Ah  but I don't know if I can take it boys, I  just can't stand myself  alone
Well  now 30 years of running's left me standing with my back to the  cold
And  it's left me most days wondering if I've  ever really  learned a thing at
all
But  I'm trying to move on, I'm trying to move  on
 Trying to move on,  I'm trying to move on
Maybe  I should go back, back  to the night where  it all began
Maybe  I should trace my life back to  the night where my  folks first met
Maybe  I could find the moment where my father broke my mother's heart in
half
Oh  I could go back to New York City, just learn  to live with that baby...
But  I'm trying to move on, I'm trying to move on  baby
 I'm trying to move  on, I'm trying to move  on oh....
