License Plate

[Intro]
It should be wild out here
Welcome to two feet below sea level, they call it The Swamp
Should be kind of crazy
Largest crowd ever to see a game here at Cajun Field, a place that seats thirty-one thousand, was back in 1990

[Verse 1]
I saw a ghost on the highway
Into the cosmic American dream
I slept from St. Louis to Houston to New Orleans
I stuck a knife in the coast, I did it my way
Trying to make it into the great constellation
Placed upon the wall with the annunciation

[Pre-Chorus]
I heard a voice saying that I'll meet you on the other side
I threw my hands up beacuse you know I'm so afraid to die

[Chorus]
I read the cursive on the license plate
It stayed embedded in the back of my brain
And when I get there I know I'll be okay
I got it made, I got it made, I got
I read the cursive on the license plate
It stayed embedded in the back of my brain
And when I get there I know I'll be okay
'Cause I got it made, I got it made, I got

[Verse 2]
Somewhere out on that road is where the truth awaits
Let my legs melt right into the street
You know, if you drive long enough you can learn anything
And at the end of the map, you'll get the final say
Highway 90 to the city when I'm feeling like I miss you, build a bridge over the water so the story continues
'Cause the boy's watching and the boy's got you
Keep on running from the past don't let the boy stop you
If it's all you got to keep living your modern way

[Pre-Chorus]
I heard a voice saying that I'll meet you on the other side (Oh)
I threw my hands up beacuse you know I'm so afraid, oh, you know I'm so afraid to die
I read the cursive on the license plate

[Chorus]
I read the cursive on the license plate
It stayed embedded in the back of my brain
And when I get there I know I'll be okay
I got it made, I got it made, I got
I read the cursive on the license plate
It stayed embedded in the back of my brain
And when I get there I know I'll be okay
'Cause I got it made, I got it made, I got
