Light Left On Testo

The rain is setting in
I'm setting out on some midwestern highway
Even the mighty Mississippi
Don't inspire me that much anymore
I'm counting exit signs
Down to the next line I'll be crossing
Never lost but I don't always know
Why it is I'm going

There's still daylight Hiding in my rear-view mirror
Fading reflections of the last town I've been
Home is a hotel room
Friends are late night bartenders
'Til I see the light left on at the end of the road again

They're burning up the fields
With the hope that the will yield a better year
And I'm wearing myself down
Just hoping that I will find out the same thing
Waiting on a change in the season to arrange our fortunes
But still putting in our time at the mercy of some higher scheme

There's still daylight
Hiding in my rear-view mirror
Fading reflections of the last town I've been
Home is a hotel room
Friends are late night bartenders
'Til I see the light left on at the end of the road again
