80 West Lyrics

Hand clutched rigid on a steering wheel
Whiskey underneath the seat, carefully concealed
Odometer has turned over 3 times
But I only gotta make it across the county line

Pennsylvania stretches out a mighty long ways
Keep it low speed so it feels like days
Got the FM radio on the left
Some talk show zombie boring me to death

Something happened out on 80 West
I can't figure--I can't figure it out.

Had me a dream for 30 years
But it changes just as easily as shifting gears
The only thing that scares me more than getting caught Is to stop and think about the lies I bought

Something happened out on 80 West
Cars lined up on the frontage road
Something happened out on 80 West
I can't figure--I'm trying to figure it out.

Something happened out on 80 West
Around the moment when everything just snapped
Something happened out on 80 West
I'm not turning back
Something happened out on 80 West
One puzzle solved and another one blown sky high
Something happened out on 80 West
I can't figure--I can't figure it out.
