Between Nashville and L.A.

[Verse 1]
An escapee at a roadblock
A cheetah in a trap
A spent round on a bullet train
Lodged between the clicks and clacks
A broken watch's second hand
Coltrane is playing "Taps"

[Chorus]
Play the music, face the music
And headed either way
Andretti's on a pump car
Between Nashville and L.A

[Verse 2]
A glass half-full, half-empty
A storm front moving slow
An urge to plow the fields
While kicking back to watch it grow
A painter watching paint dry
A stoplight good to go

[Chorus]
Play the music, face the music
And headed either way
Andretti's on a pump car
Between Nashville and L.A

[Verse 3]
A fire down to an ember
A mercenary home on leave
A magician with a thousand tricks
And nothing up his sleeve
A believer with a laundry list
Of things he can't believe

[Chorus]
Play the music, face the music
And headed either way
Andretti's on a pump car
Between Nashville and L.A

[Verse 4]
A dreamer with insomnia
An angel tripping on his wings
Just an ordinary take on
Extraordinary things
A redemptive message spoken to
A choir of the redeemed

[Chorus]
Play the music, face the music
And headed either way
Andretti's on a pump car
Between Nashville and L.A
