life takes a long time
when you're driving across Texas
with the windows wide open
and the radio on
destination's clear
and the family expects us
we'll be home by morning
sometime after dawn
you try your damn best
when you're driving across Texas
beer in paper bags
you wish you had AC
eyes on the highway
I hope no one forgets us
there will be better times
for you and for me
three more hours to Austin
the engine is humming
a tune we've always known
you can tell all the neighbors
that we are coming
home
look how the summer stars
shine on the windshield
there's no chance of rain
on this hot July night
unending white lines
tumbleweeds in the field
we're both bone dead tired
but we're feeling all right
three more hours to Austin
the engine is humming
a tune we've always known
you can tell all the neighbors
that we are coming
home
life takes a long time
when you're driving across Texas
one more Dr. Pepper
one more cigarette
we'll drive forever
if common sense lets us
vanish into the night
we'll get there yet
