Highways And Cigarettes

Got caught up in a breakaway dream
Destination city of New Orleans
Cheap motels and big-rig swells
Crossing bridges for eternity
Headed west for a two week stand
And saw the poets of work-a-day glasses
Las Cruces is a part of you now
Desert bird sings songs of laughter
Still out there with the coffee stain
And puttin' miles on shoes
Can’t escape the smell of cigarettes
Still livin' out these American late-night blues
Best to clear the mind
With a Mexicali radio station
Keep an eye out for the border patrol
Checkin' for drugs and so called aliens
Highways and dreams forever together
In the minds of the free and the innocent
Always a future in a travelers hands
Starting fires on the river and madness
Still out there with the coffee stains
And puttin' miles on shoes
Can’t escape the smell of cigarettes
Still livin' out these American late-night blues
Still out there with the coffee stains
And puttin' miles on shoes
Can’t escape the smell of cigarettes
Still livin' out these American late-night blues
