the highlander motel has it’s lights on now
where i sold myself for $50 and cable tv
jane says she’s on a big soul kick now
and i can almost see her dancing.
three miles to the exit
highway 60 just let me lay down
nicole looks at me just like the missouri
and she says i don’t make enough for a kid
everything’s worth a whole lot more
when you’ve got the gas but the car won’t go
but i was lonely there and it’s cold now
why don’t you wait ’til spring to decide?

call for a cold one
call out the shots
just call it something
i want a big one
and i want it now
i’ll go for anything
wear it on your sleeve
wear it out
man, show your status
pay it on time
or play it out
and i’ll tell you it’s different since i’ve been gone.
there’s a man with a job
and a gun on his hip
he must be a hero
there’s a man with a name badge
and parted hair
he takes your money well

a soldier told his story, in camouflage
a little boy wondered who he was hiding from, there on the bus
he told of a woman who had his baby, and left his with his dad
his dad's girl won't tell him how much, but he wants to pay them back
my love, she came to me last night, she told me everything
the father, he won custody, 'cos she ain't been the same since the baby and those bombs will fall on anyone, who's lost faith in god
and she got her cocaine, straight from me
a few soldiers, they made a vow, for the war's end
they'd kill me and that whore, to show their love
and those bullets land right where you want, if you've got faith in steel my love, she came to me last night, and it's good, yeah it's good.

somewhere there is a train and i am on it
somewhere there is a mighty river and somewhere a wheel
somewhere there is a man who watches over it
somewhere there is a woman who finally fell asleep
but it only lasted for a minute
somewhere there is a boy, and he’s driving a shit car
to his dad’s driveway at his mother’s house
somewhere is the girl he just made love with
somewhere else he smiles at the smell of it
somewhere is a church, where a child sings
as a woman thinks of something that her boss said
somewhere there is a train and i am on it
somewhere there is a border where a man with a gun stands
until another man comes in two hours
for each of these men, somewhere are 50 terrified faces
they’re waiting in lines or in the darkness
and for each of these faces somewhere are 100 feet
weary from pacing in living rooms and offices
somewhere is a lightbulb that just blew out
somewhere, i am sure, there is a bullet
somewhere sits a man with a big meal to eat
somewhere someone takes a drag off of a cigarette
somewhere a boy sits and laughs to himself
about something that he doesn’t really get
and somewhere someone is taking a piss
somewhere there is a train and i am on it
somewhere there is a mighty river and somewhere a wheel
now it only turns out of habit
somewhere there is a mountain and somewhere a pill.
