Sleeping On the Interstate

At 4am a 5 piece band
Gets REM in a Chevrolet van running late
So we’re sleeping on the interstate
We’re a left lane friend, threadin' the cars
Passing 'em like satellites and stars
We pull away, sleeping on the interstate
That white line stretchin' like a yellow brick road
We chase it down hurry up, we never go slow
Gas in the tank, music in the soul
Here we go, here we go
Connecting map dots like poets and prisoners
Trying to live more like a lover than sinner
Slaves to dreams so far away
So we’re sleeping on the interstate
Freedom is the fuel making 8 wheels roll
We close our eyes and think about home
So it’s okay, sleeping on the interstate
There’s me in the back in a 6 foot bunk
Gettin' used to the rocks of the road is tough
But I’ll find a way, sleeping on the interstate
That white line stretchin' like a yellow brick road
We chase it down hurry up, we never go slow
Gas in the tank, music in the soul
Here we go, here we go
Connecting map dots like poets and prisoners
Trying to live more like a lover than sinner
Slaves to dreams so far away
So we’re sleeping on the interstate
I’m breathing in the miles, I’m reeling in the years
I’m taking some in stride and some in tears
That white line stretchin' like a yellow brick road
We chase it down hurry up, we never go slow
Gas in the tank, music in the soul
Here we go, here we go
Connecting map dots like poets and prisoners
Trying to live more like a lover than sinner
Slaves to dreams so far away
So we’re sleeping on the interstate
We’re sleeping on the interstate
Sleeping on the interstate
