well it's been a long time coming

looking for the neon glow

been up and down the mountain

wondering where the hell to go

and I been along every dirt road

looking for the yellow haze

but I can't see it anywhere

to candlelight my way



I said mister can you help me

can you possibly explain

why the rooster on your chimney's

pointing north the other way

he said you ain't from around here

are you boys and I said no

just keep on heading that away

you ain't got far to go



don't stop the car

no through road

don't stop the car

no through road



we're forty odd miles from nowhere

and I don't know how to say

that we're all heading back

along the road from where we came

forty odd miles from nowhere and 

the needle's in the low

Pete said how far now

I said we ain't got far to go



don't stop the car

no through road

don't stop the car

no through road
