There's a light that shines in your bedroom

Reminds me youth will be dead soon

I try not to pretend

I'm not in love, not even close

But I know you better than most

And I sure could use a friend

Got a ring around the Rosie

And a pocket full of dust

The Pennsylvania turnpike

And a heart that's full of rust

Drive until we get to Leavenworth and Pine

And pray that we don't break

down in this crazy dream of mine

Alive but only for what seems to be a day

We could die right here forever

Or live and drive away

There's an empty bottle of gin

In a game not meant to win

But I play it anyway

I'm not lonely, not even close

But I'm starting to feel like a ghost

And I'm prematurely gray

Got a ring around the Rosie

And a head that's full of doubt

And the Pennsylvania turnpike

Is my only chance to get out

Drive until we get to Leavenworth and Pine

And pray that we don't break

down in this crazy dream of mine

Alive but only for what seems to be a day

We could die right here forever

Or live and drive away

Freedom

Can't you feel the freedom?

Freedom

Can't you feel the freedom?

Drive until we get to Leavenworth and Pine

And pray that we don't break

down in this crazy dream of mine

Alive but only for what seems to be an hour

And I won't feel at home until I see the poppy flowers

And I won't feel at home until I see the poppy flowers

There's a light that shines in your bedroom

Reminds me youth will be dead soon

I try not to pretend
