Lost Your Mind

Waking up on the shoulder
Two friends in a passenger
Got a lot of ground to cover
A lot of tread to burn
You left the best of it behind you
Pressing on 'til every sign just tells you you won't ever learn
You ain't gonna learn

Gray skies overhead
They don't mean nothing
It's gotta come down hard sometimes, somethings gotta fall
You can drive that big machine 'til daylight
Just keep telling yourself you gotta
Or admit after all
You ain't gonna survive

There's a rest stop in Virginia over the Tennessee line
You can trace it back to where you lost your mind

Always got half a mind to leave
And half to stay but mostly it just feels like half of it's missing
Cigarettes, amphetamines, a little light will talk
And the radios always busted when you need it
Nothing good on anymore

There's a rest stop in Virginia over the Tennessee line
You can trace it back to where you lost your mind
You gotta go, you gotta go
So, so slow
Because when it's done the fruit ain't worth the rind

Early morning light, most demons disappear
But the way they hold on to you
You'd think you were asleep
And you could only wake so many times
Until one day you will follow them into the dark and deep
It's like a tar pit down there

There's a rest stop in Virginia over the Tennessee line
You can trace it back to where you lost your mind
You gotta go, you gotta go
So, so slow
Because when it's done the fruit ain't worth the rind
