Starin’ through the screen door
Out beyond the glow of a porch light
She couldn’t sleep again
Looks like it’s gonna be another long night

She’s tremblin’ from the cold
Or it might be fear
She knows the change is come
And it might be near

A car goes rollin’ by
She’s shocked to see herself behind the wheel
She says, “I wonder where I’m goin’
God, I wonder how I feel”

“With the windows down, this dead end town
And empty love behind me
Free at last, no lookin’ back
One day I’m gonna find me”

Gone anywhere
Everywhere and nowhere
Gone, just pick a dream
Any dream and go there

There comes a time in every life
When everybody winds up gone

Then the wind changed direction
And that car comes rollin’ down the drive
Pulled up in the porch light
She heard her voice comin’ from inside

Said, “You look a little restless, girl
Come on, go with me
I’ll have you back by mornin’
Knowin’ how it feels to be”

Gone anywhere
Everywhere and nowhere
Gone, just pick a dream
Any dream and go there

There comes a time in every life
When everybody winds up gone

He stumbles out of bed
Awakened by the knockin’ at the front door
Lookin’ through the screen
At two strangers he’s never seen before

We’ve got bad news for you, sir
She’s spun out of control
We did all we could do, sir
God rest her soul, she’s gone
