[Verse 1]
When you're standin' on the first step of the bus
And you're askin' yourself, what are you doin' this for?
And you hand the man the ticket
Find a place to sit
Try to rest in the night, headed north
And you settle in your seat
And your mind starts trippin' on what it is you may be runnin' from
[Verse 2]
You better wake up
Wake up, wake up
That time is gone
[Verse 3]
Watch it roll by outside the window
As you lean against the greasy gray-green glass
And you're tryin' to keep from sleepin'
So you're countin' every moment that goes past
'Cause you know when you sleep
You just dream about her all night long
[Verse 4]
You better wake up
Wake up, wake up
That time is gone
That time is gone
That time is gone
[Verse 5]
You better wake up
Wake up, wake up
That time is gone
[Verse 6]
Every truck that passes
Every cactus, every bird is freer than you now
You got nothing holdin' you back
Nothing tyin' you down
Freer than the law allows
And there's no goin' back to go back to
One more time, all that finished with and done
[Verse 7]
You better wake up
Wake up, wake up
That time is gone
That time is gone
That time is gone
[Verse 8]
You better wake up
Wake up, wake up
That time is gone
[Verse 9]
Readin' your magazine wishin' you were anywhere but here
Wishin' you had anything to show for it
A note, a sign
A flower, a pick, a laugh, a beer
And what you feared you have become
Has become exactly what you feared
[Verse 10]
Oh, you better wake up
Wake up, wake up
That time is here
Oh, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, oh
[Verse 11]
That time is gone
That time is gone
You better wake up
Wake up, wake up
That time is gone
[Verse 12]
That time is gone
That time is gone
You better wake up
Wake up, wake up
That time is gone
[Verse 13]
Oh, you better wake up
Wake up, wake up
