Interstate travel, got to get on down the road
Where does it unravel and does anybody know
Just keeps going going down
Sundown coming days are short this time of year
Tires keep on humming, I think I could disappear
We'd keep going going down

Lotta miles still between me and my destination
Lotta time to ponder about my situation
I can see the water closin' in on me
The ship it keeps on sailing, it don't ask me
Just keeps going, going down
Going, going down

Another mile farther another exit to a town
Where folks are really living not just traveling around
They're living, living life
Another town talking 'bout whatever comes to mind
Little dog barking, little kid with lots of time
For just living, living life

Lotta miles still between me and my destination
Lotta time to ponder about my situation
I can see the water closin' in on me
This horse keeps on plodding, it don't ask me
Just keeps going, going down
Going, going down

I've seen the progress of a living breathing faith
It takes its time, takes its own way
Can you tell it's going, going down
There is a water, it's a crystal clear lake
If you get it on you, it will drown you in its wake
Old man going, going down

Lotta miles still between me and my destination
Lotta time to ponder about my situation
I can feel the water closin' in on me
These feet just keep on walking
They don't ask me, ask me

Lotta miles still between me and my destination
Lotta time to ponder about my situation
I can see the water closin' in on me
The body keeps on crawling, it don't ask me
