Blacktop River

There's a drumbeat in the distance with a message loud and clear
Smoke on the horizon--words you always want to hear
The birds are chirping in the trees, their song a secret code--
It's time to pack your bags, my dear, and hit the open road

The blacktop river, she's a-callin' us away
I can't see any reason we should stay
The world out there has magic to make you shiver
So it's time to say goodbye and find our way--on that blacktop river

There's an aching in your heart, a desire to be free
A deep and mighty chasm in our darkest memory
But light is giggling through the sky--a sweet periphery
It's time to grab your bug-out, babe, and see the world with me

The blacktop river, she's a-callin' us away
And there isn't anything here that could make us stay
All the wonders of the world will make us shiver
Now it's time to find our way and say goodbye--on the blacktop river

There's something that you need to know
We do it now, or we'll never go
Trapped in routine
We'll never get away
Stuck like this forever, stay, stay, stay

The blacktop river, she's a-callin' us away
I can't see any reason we should stay
The world out there has magic to make you shiver
So it's time to say goodbye and find our way--on that blacktop river

The blacktop river, she's a-callin' us away
And there isn't anything here that could make us stay
All the wonders of the world will make us shiver
Now it's time to find our way and say goodbye--on the blacktop river
