Well these diamonds on my windshield And these tears from heaven Well I'm
pulling into town on the Interstate I got a steel train in the rain And
the wind bites my cheek through the wing And it's these late nights and this
freeway flying It always makes me sing
There's a Duster tryin' to
change my tune He's pulling up fast on the right Rolling restlessly by a
twenty-four hour moon
And a Wisconsin hiker with a cue-ball
head He's wishing he was home in a Wiscosin bed But there's fifteen feet
of snow in the East Colder then a welldigger's ass And it's colder than a
welldigger's ass
Oceanside it ends the ride with San Clemente coming
up Those Sunday desperadoes slip by and cruise with a dry back And the
orange drive-in the neon billin' And the theatre's fillin' to the
brim With slave girls and a hot spurn bucket full of
sin
Metropolitan area with interchange and
connections Fly-by-nights from Riverside And out of state plates running
a little late
But the sailors jockey for the fast lane So 101
don't miss it There's rolling hills and concrete fields And the broken
line's on your mind
The eights go east and the fives go north And
the merging nexus back and forth You see your sign, cross the line,
signalling with a blink
And the radio's gone off the air Gives
you time to think And you hear the rumble As you fumble for a
cigarette And blazing through this midnight jungle Remember someone that
you met And one more block; the engine talks Whispers 'home at
last' It whispers 'home at last' Whispers 'home at last' It whispers
'home at last' Whispers 'home at last'
And there are diamonds on
my windshield And these tears from heaven Well I'm pulling into town on
the Interstate I got me a steel train in the rain And the wind bites my
cheek through the wing Late nights and freeway flying Always makes me
sing It always makes me sing
