lyrics

Cows on the Highway

Cows on the highway
Cows in the middle of the road
Cows on the highway
Nowhere to go

Two days since I set out from Lubbock
For a thousand miles I’ve been out of my head
Each turn of the wheel brings me closer
But I fear I may already be dead
I stop here ‘cause straight up ahead, there are

Lovers who walk in the sun hand in hand
Forget what it’s like to be cold
For love to stay with me and not leave me drifting
I’d fill up all your pockets with gold
I need to go where this road goes, but there are

In the midnight garden we dance until dawn
By the seaside I walk with my babies in arms
I awake to these cows who, instead of roaming on farms,
Are lowing in and out of my dreams

Dawn breaks on the two-lane, not a bovine in sight
No trace, no signal, no sign
In deep sleep blue angels found me
With their blessing I may still reach home in time
But I live with the fear that I’ll find
