10 MPH

It's the motel breakfast and the milky way
It's a blown out tire and a bale of hay
It's the interstate and the county line
It's the tourist traps and the welcome signs
It's smooth sailing and washed out rocks
It's the shadeless summer with sand in your socks
It's a warm bath lake with sinking boats
It's a friendly woman and a handwritten note
What is a country at 10 miles an hour?
What is a summer with cold river showers?
Show me a place outside the swarm
Who do you reach for in a lightning storm?
It's the canyon of hell with the friendly strangers
It's the dead fish and the smell of danger
It's the dancing grass in the wrong direction
It's the wild hills with a pink complexion
What is a country at 10 miles an hour?
What is a summer with cold river showers?
Show me a place outside the swarm
Who do you reach for in a lightning storm?
It's the bursting stars and the utter silence
It's a gold rush with a knack for violence
It's a bunch of states with artificial borders
It's a maniac screaming "law and order"
What is a country at 10 miles an hour?
What is a summer with cold river showers?
Show me a place outside the swarm
Who do you reach for in a lightning storm?
