At 4am a 5 piece band Gets REM in a Chevrolet van running late So we're sleeping on the interstate We're a left lane friend, threadin' the cars Passing 'em like satellites and stars We pull away, sleeping on the interstate
That white line stretchin' like a yellow brick road We chase it down hurry up, we never go slow Gas in the tank, music in the soul Here we go, here we go Connecting map dots like poets and prisoners Trying to live more like a lover than sinner Slaves to dreams so far away So we're sleeping on the interstate
Freedom is the fuel making 8 wheels roll We close our eyes and think about home So it's okay, sleeping on the interstate There's me in the back in a 6 foot bunk Gettin' used to the rocks of the road is tough But I'll find a way, sleeping on the interstate
That white line stretchin' like a yellow brick road We chase it down hurry up, we never go slow Gas in the tank, music in the soul Here we go, here we go Connecting map dots like poets and prisoners Trying to live more like a lover than sinner Slaves to dreams so far away So we're sleeping on the interstate
I'm breathing in the miles, I'm reeling in the years I'm taking some in stride and some in tears
That white line stretchin' like a yellow brick road We chase it down hurry up, we never go slow Gas in the tank, music in the soul Here we go, here we go Connecting map dots like poets and prisoners Trying to live more like a lover than sinner Slaves to dreams so far away So we're sleeping on the interstate
We're sleeping on the interstate Sleeping on the interstate
