Motel rooms an

You swear he c

his eyes
              
As he shifts i

The man of his

  And searchin

       
g just keeps h

im moving
             
  And only the

  Can tame the

             
 rebel in his 


soul

It's the rhyth

As he rolls on

 down
             
And city light

 from sight
            
Drives the man

             
 behind the dr

      
iving wheels

Like a shootin

            
g star across

And he's got a

 
 home
             
  It's out on 

    
the blue horiz

ought about se

ttling down
              
A little diner

But in this wo

And chasing so

              
uthern lights 

        
{in the distan

Through open p

Well I know we
