Bringing me down, I'm aground Blind in the light of the cars Passing me by, the and semis Plunging like stones from a on Mars
But I'm here by the road, bound to the I picked up in ten thousand and bars Alone with the of the drivers who won't pick me up The highway, the moon, the clouds and the
The black-throated wind keeps on in With its words of a life nothing is new Ah, Mother American Night, I'm from the light Ohh, I'm in you

Ohh, I'm in you Ohh, I'm in you I'm back home that's what I'm gonna do Well, I'm drowning in you
