Lyrics
Southwest Indiana saw the last day
Crossed the mississippi river when the moon was shining
Just when things were looking a little greener
I had to cut corners so sharp, it left no room to bare
Now I'm burning down the road
Running with a fire in my heart
Tearing up the road, taking on the world
The best one man can
And I pray, I'm gonna make it
To the end
Well it took some time before I actaully got there
and a lot of things have happened in that time
I saw a man go wild over nothing
Saw him crawl into a corner in a little round ball and die
Pardon me, can you tell me where I am for I ma lost
Pardon me, did I hear you say that road leads to nowhere
and that one takes you back where you come from
that one takes you back
Now I'm burning down the road
Running with a fire in my heart
Tearing up the road, taking on the world
The best one man can
And I pray, I'm gonna make it
To the end
