There's a light that shines in your bedroom Reminds me youth will be dead soon I try not to pretend I'm not in love, not even close But I know you better than most And I sure could use a friend Got a ring around the Rosie And a pocket full of dust The Pennsylvania turnpike And a heart that's full of rust Drive until we get to Leavenworth and Pine And pray that we don't break down in this crazy dream of mine Alive but only for what seems to be a day We could die right here forever Or live and drive away There's an empty bottle of gin In a game not meant to win But I play it anyway I'm not lonely, not even close But I'm starting to feel like a ghost And I'm prematurely gray Got a ring around the Rosie And a head that's full of doubt And the Pennsylvania turnpike Is my only chance to get out Drive until we get to Leavenworth and Pine And pray that we don't break down in this crazy dream of mine Alive but only for what seems to be a day We could die right here forever Or live and drive away Freedom Can't you feel the freedom? Freedom Can't you feel the freedom? Drive until we get to Leavenworth and Pine And pray that we don't break down in this crazy dream of mine Alive but only for what seems to be an hour And I won't feel at home until I see the poppy flowers And I won't feel at home until I see the poppy flowers There's a light that shines in your bedroom Reminds me youth will be dead soon I try not to pretend
