Halfway
Could’ve sworn that I woke up with my foot on the gas
But somehow still right in my lane
Thought it might be Tuesday or Kansas
But I couldn’t read the signs through the fog and the rain

Fixed my eyes on the tail lights of a truck up ahead
Glowing red, staring back through the night
Told myself all I need is to maintain my speed
And just don’t let them get out of my sight

And I gotta get right, we got a long way still
We’re gonna be there by the end of the day
I think we’re just about halfway
And when it comes around, we’ll have our feet on the ground
Then we’ll sing all the songs that we play
And then we’ll be on our way

Now lately it seems people don’t even seen us
In the truck stops or out at the shows
Like try as we try we just can’t catch their eye
But sometimes that’s just how it goes
We fret on the stage and we howl and we rage
They drink and they don’t bat an eye
Say goodnight and unplug, pack the gear up and shrug
Try to let that whole town pass us by

And I gotta get right, we got a long way still
And tomorrow’ll be another long day
I think we’re just about halfway
And when it comes around, we’ll have our feet on the ground
We’ll kick back and rest a few days
And then we’ll be on our way

On a screen in the diner out the corner of my eye
Caught a glimpse of a piece on the news
About a van that got wrecked in Nevada or Texas
Left no bodies, no trace, no clues

Now ain’t that the last thing you need on your mind
For the drive to St. Louis or Denver
Just keep your eyes open and let it fly by
And do your best not to remember

And I really can’t say how long we’ve been staying
In the gap between the night and the day
I think we’re just about halfway
And when it comes around, we’ll be deep underground
And we’ll have no more songs left to play
And then we’ll be on our way
