Start the car, check the mirror

Shut the door, slap the gear

We leave tonight, ain't nothing but the stripes

Ain't nothing but the stripes



See the light, be the night, feel the road

River rise, synchronize, bleed some more

We leave tonight

We leave tonight



If I'm uncivilized child, that's okay

You gonna see me light a fire some hot day

But you don't see me

You don't see me

You don't see me

I can't see you anymore



If all in vain I call your name

As though the end was near

A slow decay, a sad refrain

And then I disappear



We leave tonight

Ain't nothing but the stripes



As those city lights die, I'm on my way

You gonna see me light a fire some hot day

But you don't need me

You don't need me

You don't need me

I don't need you anymore
