She got out of the car Into the pouring rain And disappeared Behind sliding glass doors Into a crowd of busy people Walking important and tall And my eyes are still hurting From the sight of it all And the world was moving Fast and without me I'm still sitting here Out on the street Somebody tapped the window Move your vehicle, sir Better get moving Best get on So I got out of the city Out of the pouring rain Interstates Pulling west highways And the sun started shining Reflecting hot And you're up there flyihg FIrst class And the world was moving Fast and without me I'm still sitting here Out on the street Somebody tapped the window Move your vehicle, sir Better get moving Best get on

Walter's in the driver's seat He got 'em moving Lucy didn't want to leave Who was she fooling? But she knew they had a plan And that they better stick to it Crossed the river in St. Paul At midnight Pittsburgh fights to Dakota dark By first light Who knew the continent Could pass in such a hurry Maybe they'll stay there forever Walter had their jobs lined up Where drills were drilling The money started rolling in It was a good feeling But there was an accident Out in the workyard Walter didn't pull through He's pushing daisies Lucy she's six weeks due And going crazy Who knew their time would pass In such a hurry Maybe they'll stay there forever

I don't recognize this place anymore I ain't been gone that long But I can't find the old store Gotta look at signs just to see where I'm at Landmarks are long gone And so are my old friends Came in like a midnight train My friends they weren't around Waited 'til daylight to have a look around Now I'm out in the too-hot sun Things are shiny raw and new I don't know who these people are And I don't know what they do I don't recognize this place anymore I ain't been gone that long But I can't find the old store Gotta look at signs just to see where I'm at Landmarks are long gone And so are my old friends Walked the city all day To the outskirts of town I used to come out here when things got me down Even this old world has changed I can't hear the river speak My old boat friend, Misery, says there no reason not to leave I don't recognize this place anymore I ain't been gone that long But I can't find the old store Gotta look at signs just to see where I'm at Landmarks are long gone And so are my old friends

Take this hammer and carry it to the captain Tell him I'm gone Tell him I'm gone Tell him I'm gone Take this hammer and carry it to the captain Tell him I'm gone Tell him I'm gone I'm good as gone It's a long way from Cinncinati To where I'm gone To where I'm gone To where I'm gone It's a long way from Cinncinati To where I'm gone To where I'm gone And I'm good as gone That John Henry, He left his hammer Down by the road All covered in rain All covered in rain That John Henry, He left his hammer Down by the road All covered in rain All covered in rain All covered in rain That John Henry was a steel driving boy But He went down Yeah, He went down Yeah, He went down That John Henry was a steel driving boy But He went down Yeah, He went down And He's good as gone He's good as gone

Sightseers 06:27
You knew me when I didn't know better But now that the smoke's cleared we're fine We were sightseers most of the time Didn't know what was around Took the long way around try to make it feel better But reality she's not as kind Things are better here down the line Got both feet on the ground Couldn't have known It was gonna take so long Silence on the big screen I can only watch their mouths The noise inside my head is too loud Caught up in a slipstream I can hardly see the shore The noise inside my head is screaming Why didn't you just lie 180 degree turn stumbling through the weather You know I've done it two or three times Things can always turn on a dime Trying to keep my head down You told me that the coast was so much better But I learned to recognize the signs We were sightseers most of the time Didn't know what was around Couldn't have known It was gonna take so long Silence on the big screen I can only watch their mouths The noise inside my head is too loud Caught up in a slipstream I can hardly see the shore The noise inside my head is screaming Why didn't you just lie Screaming why Didn't you just lie
