lyrics

the rolled up hay, the endless fence
the big, dumb cow,chews and grins
as passengers peak through the lens
of a rolling chevrolet

up in the cab a driver waves
the children pull their pretend chains
he smiles and makes his airhorn sin
the song of mid america

the silent movie plays so sweet
on the six transparent screens
the rolling hillsides make you dream
the afternoon away
the markers come the marker pass
the miracle of machine and gas
takes us pas the leaning grass
that covers mid america

tell me your life as we move along
take the wheel and let me slumber off
turn the am radio on and find a rita coolidge song

the shadows stretch, the day is gone
the sun goes down, the lights come on
that keep the small-town streets beyond
the reach of the black
the sound of sleeping children fills
the back seat, action finally stills
as you and i go through the hills
and cross the endless plains
on a journey that never ends
as we go through the veins.....of mid america, america
