lyrics

Looking for old cars
And wondering
Which way to turn
After the viaduct

When time was simple,
And the dream of escape
Was just as urgent
As it is now

Feeling more intense, perhaps
Because there still seemed
To be some hope
For things to change

Finding a way out
To get out
From all this crap
And that a car

From another era
Would be the easiest
Way
To get there

When the farmer'd say
His old Buick Special
Would do a hundred
When you,d opened her up

On a flat out stretch
Of country highway
But she'd smell like an explosion
When you finally got her fired up

And the frontend
Was always shot to hell
So time to keep looking
For another ride

That could take us out of here
When we’d pass
That viaduct
And find another place to go
