Grey Delisle Iron Flowers Lyrics

Iron flowers
And water towers
And lonesome stretches of black

Drunken cowboys
And AM white noise
And Tuscon running down my back

This highway runs longer and faster than I do
It rolls on for always dipping in and out of view
The clay turns to asphalt and the dark sky turns to blue
This highway runs away from you

Truckstop phonecalls
And knuckles And phony brick walls
And cornfields growing up too fast

Orphan tires
And chapel spires
And other things I thought were gonna last

This highway runs longer and faster than I do
It rolls on for always dipping in and out of view
The clay turns to asphalt and the dark sky turns to blue
This highway runs away from you
This highway runs away from you
