lyrics

van broke down on the side of the road,
tow truck shoulda come an hour ago,
it was late july in the desert heat
and i was thinkin' bout the girl I left back east
cause there was nothin else to do just to pass the time,
a mile long freight train rolled on by
we were leavin' las cruces thinkin' bout home,
we never really figured that a tire would blow
400 miles to go to fort worth,
it was startin to seem pretty absurd, well alright
kinda funny how sleepin' on floors
ain't quite so romantic after weeks on tour
now i'm back in boston and it's gettin' old
and i've been wishin' i could jump into a van and just go
we tore outta texas, asheville bound,
a thousand plus miles in twenty four hours
losin' our minds sittin' there in the dark,
until we saw the sun rise over arkansas
tenessee hills, we were almost there,
feelin' like we hadn't left the van in a year
it was all a blur of rest stops and powerlines
and it all seems like a dream now, or some movie that i saw,
when I was just a kid, and it still seemed like nothing could go wrong
scattered all along the highways are the things that I forgot,
but the one thing I could never leave behind me was that love.
