Well there's nothing new inside my shoes I guess I might be bored And I don't have a Cadillac, so I got into my Ford It's late out on this interstate I believe I see a wreck And I'm hoping time is longer than this rope around my neck I've felt the breeze across my face turning to the wind I've seen the oceans roll back time to where it all begins I would write a letter but there's nothing left to send Ooohhh 'Mmmm' this heart's for sale
My road map states one can't be too safe if you expect to carry through And I've done exactly everything it's told me not to do I could decline to stay in line and follow all the rest And study absolution in preparation for a test
Now I can see I'm close to E, or so does read my gauge And I feel like every naked beast that's pacing in a cage I believe I know the sorrow caught inside the wheel Do you think that I have chosen to feel the way I feel You can have my soul now man, there's not much left to steal Ooohhh 'Mmmm' this heart's for sale
It's a heavy load the most traveled road into the setting sun And I must learn to take the turn where the diesels just won't run Moon glow rise and star-filled skies, railroad crossing signs It's always been so hard for me to stay inside the lines Reality fades behind my shades so I'll try to get this right I always liked California dreams in colored black and white No place to hide on this ride as I wipe my windows clear No matter where I go to get away from me I always end up here
I've heard the gentle weeping of please don't go away I've heard the desperation in don't try to make me stay I've heard the bitter silence when there's nothing left to say Ooohhh 'Mmmm' this heart's for sale
Broke down on the highway, busted on the side of the road Looks like I'm gonna hitchhike home. 'Mmmm' this heart's for sale.
