lyrics

It's only so often you get nights like these
So don't you dare go and waste it
Refinery lights, and salt on the breeze
You almost can't bear to taste it
A mist rolls up the river
With the smell of burning embers
It stays with you forever, I remember

It's not a simple 'you can never go home again'.
'Cause how come I'm here on the road?
And even if summer has come to an end
The sweat's pouring off in a flood
So I wind the window all the way down
As the local radio takes up the sound
It stays with you forever, I remember

You can't do a thing 'cause it's nobody's fault
And if you can't point a finger, there's no point at all
The road keeps unwinding for mile after mile
And you might just as well keep on driving all night

Years ago in a Ford Corsair
Your hero's the lad in the back
Waiting for the sleep in his eyes to clear
And rubbing the crick in his neck
The cigarette smoke is blue in the sun
He asks how far and they say: "Nearly home"
And a day can last forever, I remember
