Paved from Here to Heaven

Been a long hard week with the breakdowns

Everybody’s sleeping sound

You’re running in third

But you should shut it down

Keeping up with the sun rise

Half awake and paralyzed

Airbags are compromised

You’re ready to fly

You’ve been running those county roads

Mostly missing those pot holes

The road goes on forever

But it ain’t paved from here to heaven

Busted shocks and brake drums

To hell and back and then some

Chip and seal and blacktop

Rough patch and slick spots

Nothing you can do to stop

You’re just humming along

So run those roads real fast

Put it all in your past

Cause one of those shortcuts

Is gonna cut right through

10 & 2 and your belt tight

Tell yourself that it’s alright

You made it this far

Without putting up a fight

The road goes on forever

But it ain’t paved from here to heaven

Busted shocks and brake drums

To hell and back and then some

Chip and seal and blacktop

Rough patch and slick spots

Nothing you can do to stop

You’re just humming along

Lately you’ve been running on empty

But if the road stops here well it’s in fields of plenty

Aren’t you glad you slowed’er down?

Took a minute to look around and found

The road goes on forever

But it ain’t paved from here to heaven

Busted shocks and brake drums

To hell and back and then some

Chip and seal and blacktop

Rough patch and slick spots

Nothing you can do to stop

You’re just humming along
