lyrics

Bracing at the sight of a tractor trailer
the thought of them could always derail her
now I’m hugging the mountain side, and my lover’s arm
We’re only halfway through Pennsylvania
In the wilds you’ll possibly go insane
from boredom, or from questions of an anxious mind

Snowflakes whipping down from the sky,
brown mountain roads winding high
Say “goodbye for now,” to my Midwestern life

There’s a magnet buried inside my mind
paired to memories left behind
New York is the feeling of losing all control

Driving on I-80, I
feel a little unsteady, now,
knowing I can’t take her from that place
Knowing I must live with the look on her face
I only have my questions and 500 miles

How come all your love is gone?
How did everything go wrong?
How are we supposed to carry on?

She keeps seeing my father’s face:
a silent cry from a quiet place
Nobody came first to close his eyes

Driving on I-80, I
know there’s a time to say goodbye

Parents are supposed to show the way
but now there’s no one left to say
if, or how, or when
we’ll safely arrive

How come all your life is gone?
How did everything go wrong?
How are we supposed to carry on?

She keeps seeing my father’s face:
a silent cry from a quiet place
Nobody came first to close his eyes

Driving on I-80, I
sing to myself and I have a cry
This is my cry,
a song to carry on:

I am your child,
You don’t even know
You’re not quite gone;
where did you go?
I miss you
I’ll always miss you
This is the road
I’m on the road
to you

Driving on I-80, I
fear that I will never arrive,
knowing no matter how fast I drive,
the past I seek will always
be passed
