lyrics

Looking out
At the big empty
Twilight and your mouth is dry
Took the desert for the sea
Dust in the distance
Low light, rattlin’ hum
Got your hat and your boots on baby
Thumb it like you wanna come

Oh you can fake it, but you can’t go clean
Welcome to the lonely highway, ain’t no silver screen
And there’s no direction, to where you’re gonna go
Just a house of your own erection, follow where the money flows

It’s the free land
Big racks, big guns
Hot stone, bleached white and blonde
Shadowed in the setting sun
And talk is cheap now
With your southern drawl
You can make it in the plastic jungle
Kitten’s got a lion’s claws.

Dance in the snake pit
Where the venom’s green
Put it all on the line each time
Running on their hollow dreams
No room for emotion
In the cold light show
You’re the idol of a base devotion
Screaming for that honey dough

Rolling into town
You try to shake it out
They’re gonna get you high, high, high
They know you’ve been around
So lay your cash down
Yeah you better roll high, high, high

Oh you can fake it, but you can’t go clean
Welcome to the lonely highway, ain’t no silver screen
And there’s no direction, to where you’re gonna go
Just a house of your own erection, follow where the money flows

Rolling into town
Try to shake it out
They’re gonna get you high, high, high
They know you’ve been around
So lay your cash down
Yeah you better roll high, high, high
