There By Now

The air around Chicago is heavy with the snow.
And the cold gets in your soul.
The city fades into the past, the suburbs come and go.
Sometimes it?s hard to keep control.
Now it?s midnight on 55 and there?s nothing to see
But the dim glow of the dashboard lights.
The radio is my company and the empty fields never end.
The world just shrinks right in.
Seems I?ve been moving as long as I?ve been breathing air
And every mile leads to the next
Looking for something, But I haven?t found it yet.
I?m looking for a place to rest.
Break (Verse X 1)
It?s raining outside Jackson, and I can?t see a thing.
Sometimes it?s hard to see the signs.
The roads a little slippery and I?m a little scared.
I want to be out of the rain.
There?s fog along the levee, little houses come and go.
Day by day, they tumble down.
On both sides of the highway are the cities of the dead.
The only way to go is straight ahead.
Seems I?ve been moving as long as I?ve been breathing air
And every mile leads to the next
Looking for something, But I haven?t found it yet.
I should be there by now.
