I was sitting in a car, next to the railroad track
In the shadows of a tower in a town called Pontiac
She said I've got to get out, she emptied her beer
Put her dreams in her pocket and her past in the rearview mirror
Diamonds on a dusty radio
We all need somewhere we can go...
Let's take it down to that old river
Call your friends, we'll meet at the bend
And we'll dance all night under the moonlight
We may never get this free again
I was sitting in a bar, drinking my day away
I was staring at the clock and thinking 'bout my friends in LA
I said "I gotta get out: someday... outta here."
This time I really mean it, but I say that every year
Diamonds on a dusty radio
We all need somewhere we can go...
Let's take it down to that old river
Call your friends, we'll meet at the bend
And we'll dance all night under the moonlight
We may never get this free again
She put that suitcase on her bed
Packed it up, then she said
"Ash to ash we all fall down
Life's a cross we're lost and found
Don't know where we go from here
Think I'll just ... disappear"
Let's take it down to that old river
Call your friends, we'll meet at the bend
And we'll dance all night under the moonlight
We may never get this free again
