87 North in the driving rain in the spray of a semi bound for Montreal
I've buried a few friends and a couple dreams
Got the headstones just waiting on the ground to thaw
The first time I tried to outrun sorrow
I was 16, passport in my glovebox
On a North Country road towards tomorrow
Thought I knew about nostalgia and hard knocks
There are better things to pick a fight with
Than the deaf, drunken ghosts inside your head
Because one day you'll wake up to find out
That the life of the party is dead
So I turned tail for the timberline
Past the old barns and the older pines
It's a funny way that time chooses to unwind
Well the road might outlive you
But the one thing that it won't do is forgive you
Still a dollar from breaking even, a mile from breaking down
It's just the current of least resistance
Just like trying to chase lighting from a distance
Might as well forgive yourself if you're gonna stick around
Met the cowboy prophet of the corner store
Grabbing coffee just before the border
He told me "Those that can afford the time to think
Don't seem to end up any smarter
Too many self-made saints charging by the hour
Just to sell you the sunset for a song
But we're not here like fragile wildflowers
We're fragile like a bomb"
"Those already born in Paradise
Wouldn't recognize redemption if they saw it
The winters ain't what they used to be
But they're caught up in what to call it
Remember the courage it takes to run
Somewhere they don't see silence as a threat
Because the past is prison 'neath a foreign sun
And the highway hasn't quite failed me yet."
Well the road might outlive you
But the one thing that it won't do is forgive you
Still a dollar from breaking even, a mile from breaking down
It's just the current of least resistance
Just like trying to chase lighting from a distance
Might as well forgive yourself if you're gonna stick around
