There's a light that shines in your bedroom
Reminds me youth will be dead soon
I try not to pretend
I'm not in love, not even close
But I know you better than most
And I sure could use a friend
Got a ring around the Rosie
And a pocket full of dust
The Pennsylvania turnpike
And a heart that's full of rust
Drive until we get to Leavenworth and Pine
And pray that we don't break down in this crazy dream of mine
Alive but only for what seems to be a day
We could die right here forever
Or live and drive away
There's an empty bottle of gin
In a game not meant to win
But I play it anyway
I'm not lonely, not even close
But I'm starting to feel like a ghost
And I'm prematurely gray
Got a ring around the Rosie
And a head that's full of doubt
And the Pennsylvania turnpike
Is my only chance to get out
Drive until we get to Leavenworth and Pine
And pray that we don't break down in this crazy dream of mine
Alive but only for what seems to be a day
We could die right here forever
Or live and drive away
Freedom
Can't you feel the freedom?
Freedom
Can't you feel the freedom?
Drive until we get to Leavenworth and Pine
And pray that we don't break down in this crazy dream of mine
Alive but only for what seems to be an hour
And I won't feel at home until I see the poppy flowers
And I won't feel at home until I see the poppy flowers
There's a light that shines in your bedroom
Reminds me youth will be dead soon
I try not to pretend
