Nebraska
Over all those miles we found something that would slowly burn
No one ever told us in this life that we could've learned
The thing that we were after
Could only have been found on the road so long
Nebraska slipped away into the moonless milky night
When the sun caught up to us, it bathed the car in golden light
The air there tasted new
And I'm so glad to have seen it all with you, my friends
I can only hope to see it again
We'll get back together when the time is right and we are old
Enough to have found understanding and the strength to hold
Onto what we need
All we need is the love in each other's eyes
The world all seemed a city made of bricks and planted trees
We stretched to look over the wall so we could clearly see
That there wasn't any secret
There was only the love in our eyes
I would never call those lies
Tell me it's gone
Don't tell me it's dead
Tell me the weight of the colors you keep in your head
Tell me what's right
Don't tell me what's wrong
We caught a glimpse of the world and it stayed for so long
Where we oughta drive to now, I don't know I couldn't tell you
Is love the thing to hold in the heat when it isn't new
The lake will freeze again
Maybe when it does we will all fall through
Fenders bend and break, desert heat, it's so mechanical
Knowing what's at stake, walk these streets, human animal
I can't help but wonder
If any of us will ever find it there
I will always know the smell of her hair
Tell me it's gone
Don't tell me it's dead
Tell me the weight of the colors you keep in your head
Tell me what's right
Don't tell me what's wrong
We caught a glimpse of the world and it stayed for so long
So long
Its not simple, it's not easy, it's the way things roll ahead
It's the never ending show, these are all things that we said
But we never could have known how the world would turn
Who we all would become
Trees are all aflame once more with autumn's quiet passion
People who we knew and loved have been reduced to ashes
Unraveling our younger years
Searching for signs that we know will come
Still, we know the day is not done
Tell me it's gone
Don't tell me it's dead
Tell me the weight of the colors you keep in your head
Tell me what's right
Don't tell me what's wrong
We caught a glimpse of the world and it stayed for so long
So long
No one ever told us in this life that we could've learned
The thing that we were after
Could only have been found on the road so long
Nebraska slipped away into the moonless milky night
When the sun caught up to us, it bathed the car in golden light
The air there tasted new
And I'm so glad to have seen it all with you, my friends
I can only hope to see it again
We'll get back together when the time is right and we are old

We caught a glimpse of the world and it stayed for so long
So long
