Lyrics
0:37After three hours at the wheel
0:38I found myself beyond the borders of my experience
0:42From there it was one alien world after another
0:46Ghost towns painted deserts
0:49Hamburger stands neon temples
0:53Canyons carved by patient rivers
0:55Craters gouged by giant hunks of rock flung from who knows where
1:01The headlights quit somewhere around mile 400
1:03But I drove on through the darksome night
1:06Pedal down to floor windows wide
1:09Strange words repeating repeating repeating in my head
1:15I kept my eyes on the long white lines
1:21I drove like hell
1:36Above me shone a terrifying number of stars
1:40Spelling out the cold indifference of the universe
1:43I tried to stare at the road ahead
1:46I saw a huge storm far off on the horizon
1:49Dark and crawling with lightning
1:52Just looking at that churning mass set in all that immense emptiness
1:58Made me feel something I'd never felt before
2:01Something between awestruck and horrified
2:05I kept my eyes on the long white lines
2:10And I laughed like hell
2:11I'm gonna leave that city far behind and get a long long way from there
2:17I got a burning feeling deep inside of me
2:21And don't know where to put it
2:23Now that I left that place
2:25I feel like someone for the first time in my life
2:29You don't remember what I said but you'll remember what I did
2:49I found no solace on the radio
2:51Nothing but crackpots and static
2:54UFOs and white noise
2:57Scripture and garbled frequencies
3:01I tried to switch it off but the dial snapped in my fingers
3:04The volume lodged at a distorted maximum
3:08So loud I never even heard the sirens
3:14I gripped the wheel and stomped the pedal
3:21I said a meaningless prayer through my gritted teeth
3:26I kept my eyes on the long white lines
3:33I laughed like hell
3:38I'm gonna leave that city far behind and get a long long way from there
3:44I got a burning feeling deep inside of me
3:48And don't know where to put it
3:50Now that I left that place
3:52I feel like someone for the first time in my life
3:56You don't remember what I said but you'll remember what I did
4:02I sure like the feeling of an endless road
4:05My life is still a tale untold
4:08I've gotta stop believing in a long-gone past
4:11If nothing stays forever who laughs last
4:14I sure like the feeling of an endless road
4:17I'm tired of doing what I'm told
4:20I know life is fleeting and it all goes fast
4:23If no one lives forever who laughs last
4:29Who laughs last
4:35Who laughs last
After three hours at the wheel I found myself beyond the borders of my experience From there it was one alien world after another Ghost towns painted deserts Hamburger stands neon temples Canyons carved by patient rivers Craters gouged by giant hunks of rock flung from who knows where The headlights quit somewhere around mile 400 But I drove on through the darksome night Pedal down to floor windows wide Strange words repeating repeating repeating in my head I kept my eyes on the long white lines I drove like hell Above me shone a terrifying number of stars Spelling out the cold indifference of the universe I tried to stare at the road ahead I saw a huge storm far off on the horizon Dark and crawling with lightning Just looking at that churning mass set in all that immense emptiness Made me feel something I'd never felt before Something between awestruck and horrified I kept my eyes on the long white lines And I laughed like hell I'm gonna leave that city far behind and get a long long way from there I got a burning feeling deep inside of me And don't know where to put it Now that I left that place I feel like someone for the first time in my life You don't remember what I said but you'll remember what I did I found no solace on the radio Nothing but crackpots and static UFOs and white noise Scripture and garbled frequencies I tried to switch it off but the dial snapped in my fingers The volume lodged at a distorted maximum So loud I never even heard the sirens I gripped the wheel and stomped the pedal I said a meaningless prayer through my gritted teeth I kept my eyes on the long white lines I laughed like hell I'm gonna leave that city far behind and get a long long way from there I got a burning feeling deep inside of me And don't know where to put it Now that I left that place I feel like someone for the first time in my life You don't remember what I said but you'll remember what I did I sure like the feeling of an endless road My life is still a tale untold I've gotta stop believing in a long-gone past If nothing stays forever who laughs last I sure like the feeling of an endless road I'm tired of doing what I'm told I know life is fleeting and it all goes fast If no one lives forever who laughs last Who laughs last Who laughs last
