he gears down and gets off in iron town
600 miles to go before he has to turn around
the warm dash and the sun
makes the bittersweet feeling come
and he dreams in his cab before he hets out, about a
5 acre farm, little white house
water in the well, one milkin' cow
big empty sky, all the time in the world
good dirt to turn, sun bleached out barn
a chance to lay down in sweet loving arms
and to work a 5 acre farm
he checks in and lays his body down again
in a room with a picture on the wall
there's a field of gold
and a mountain covered with snow
and he falls asleep as he walks, around his
(chorus)
you know that he'd go home if he had him one
but the highway, it just stretches on
it just stretches on, right past his
(chorus)
