Road Moments

Looking out the window
Green pines, blue sky
Radio tower red and white

Radio tower red and white
Beacon lights fade in and out
Sister said that meant
The music was flowing forth
This road leads on to all roads
Gray sky in the rain

Gray sky in the rain
Gray house falling down, people gone
Where were they, and when?
Apple blossoms drift down
Pink petal-snow on tall grass
Crackling radio, college football
Far far away

Far far away
The road swept gentle curves
Beneath tremendous pines
The man in gray said
Nothing you learn is ever wasted
As he pumped our gas and
The sun came out

The sun came out
Gilding the mountains we'd left
Where the roads met on the plain
A few houses, a few trees
A root beer stand somewhere near
I can't remember seeing
I can't remember stopping
The clouds go pink in the sunset

The clouds go pink in the sunset
This road leads on to all roads
Nothing you learn is ever wasted
Where were they, and when?
Looking out the window
