Pulling out of Omaha, riding on the bookmobile

Fingers on an old guitar, tying to find a feel

Lord, I just can't sleep tonight, not when we're moving this fast

Trying to occupy my mind, watching the cornfields pass

Though it's plain to see what's in front of me

Though I know it's real, I'm never gonna feel it all the way

It's always time to go, another town, another show

Waiting down this dark, empty road

Out where nothing lasts

Everything is fading fast

Spent the night in Chi-Town, dinking with Intemperate Sons

Every time my glass was down, they said, "Bring him another one"

Somebody wanted my autograph as I stumbled from the hotel bar

Man, all I could do was laugh and wonder how'd I get this far

Though it's plain to see what's in front of me

Though I know it's real, I'm never gonna feel it all the way

It's always time to go, another town, another show

Waiting down this dark, empty road

Out where nothing lasts

Everything is fading fast

All the songs I never play

All the words I never say

I just can't stand to say goodbye

So I'll see you down the line

Standing at the truck stop, shivering at the payphone wall

My manger says that my single's been dropped, and my sales are beginning to stall

They want me to do more interviews, I say, "Please, my voice is shot"

I'm trying to save it for the show tonight, 'cause that's the only thrill I got

Though it's plain to see what's in front of me

Though I know it's real, I'm never gonna feel it all the way

It's always time to go, another town, another show

Waiting down this dark, empty road

Out where nothing lasts

Everything is fading fast

Everything is fading fast

Everything is fading fast
