I-90

Driving fast down the highway
Your face a fire in my mind
Your father died on father's day
John, I loved you
With my whole heart when I was fifteen
Now I'm watching the sun
Set in the rearview mirror
And they're setting fireworks off
On I-90
John, here's a flower
Of light dripping down
In his memory

We didn't know
But we were told
Before you get there
You're already old
Explosion
On the road

John, I love who
You've become even though we lost touch
Now I'm watching the sun
Set in the rearview mirror
And they're setting fireworks off
On I-90
John, here's a tower
Of light rising up
Outside of Albany

We didn't know
But we were told
Before you get there
You're already old
Explosion
On the road ahead

We didn't know
But we were told
Before you get there
You're already old
Explosion
On the road ahead

Driving into purple twilight
Truck is flashing me his red eyes
Four lights in the back, a menacing smile
Trees rising like green horns on either side

Cloud is pink, road is black, lines are white
I don't know how much time I have to describe it

Red lights in the back of the truck
And the sky is golden in the rearview mirror
