You can catch me gliding down the highways of my youth There goes the hospital they tell me I was born in There goes the grocery, the pharmacy, the high school parking lot Behind the wheel you'd sigh and say "this town ain't nothing" By the fourth day of July the weather's always far too warm But still the only day that I could play with fire And I often got my sister burned, said it was by mistake I knew that mama wouldn't take me for a liar Is there anybody listening to me? From the middle of America you scream out to the ocean it gets lost Lost like those new shoes left, my dear you know how much those damn things cost us? There is always that one girl who says that she's too sad to sleep And she reminds me of what daddy would've told her That nothing is as good or bad as they will make it seem I hear they feed that line to people at the border Is there anybody listening to me? From the middle of America you scream out to the ocean it gets lost Lost like daddy's pension fund, my God you know how much that's gonna cost us It rained so much last lonely spring it nearly drowned the earth And if it had I would've built an ark of maple I would've proudly let the skyway guide the highways of my youth I would've welcomed all the world if I were able Is there anybody listening to me? From the middle of America you scream out to the ocean it gets lost Lost like Lady Liberty who wouldn't care how much it all would cost us I hear someone knocking It was just the mailman
