500 million years agonYou came through the earth and you came through the snow.nAnd you rise and fall, fingers to the sun.nAnd I'll join you in the fight against erosion.nnWe left Shenandoah with the winds at our backnAnd the moon slowly died as the sky turned black.nAnd we ride and we ride, never growing tired.nWe'll see you again when the horizon's on fire.nnHey, wait up.nSlow down.nnAnd I'll call you brother and I'll call you my friend.nWe can conquer the world if we only pretend.nAnd we journey and I place my hand to my brownAnd I'll see you again when the winner lays down.nnI'll see you in the morning, I'll see you today.nPut your foot to the ground before we decay.nIf my eyes start to sink, keep yours open widenAnd we'll ride and we'll ride and we'll ride and we'll ride.nnDead deer on the side of the roadnWith the windows down we'll catch a coldnBecause we don't want the interior to smell.nnI watch your heavy eyes in the front seatnCurl your body tight to preserve the heatnAnd we'll be there in the morning.nnAnd I'll hold your hand just like a childnAnd run away to prove I'm wildnBut you'll still be here waiting.nnI can take my foot off the gasnAnd let the young ones passnBut I gotta keep on moving.nnI won't pay my bills, I won't go to bednI'm still twelve years old in my headnAnd I hate to see you so grown up.nnA bang and a crash and fire and glassnGet out of here, get out of here fastnIf not, I'll drive us through the ground.nnI can never slow down.
