Summer Light

come on baby, let's take a ride
and we might make it by morning light
the sun is bright and bold and bray
my car is a stone that gently weighs

so jersey lays like a sight never seen
and no waking ghost got news for me, well
you're damned if you're wrong 
and you're damned if you're right
you might make it there by christmas night
and damned if this world ain't wide enough for your game

cause my way, is that the way home?
and they tried to do their best to carry on

you run a comb all through your hair
and stolen road signs will never stare
they're damned if they're right 
and they're damned if they're wrong, they don't mind
so dance in the doldrums of each new day
dance in the doldrums of common pay
dance in the doldrums that keep you from this divide

cause my way, is that the way home?
and they tried to do their best to carry on
cause my way, is that the way home?
and they tried to do their best to carry on

all the peninsula lays in the light
it makes a maze for the coming night
listen to the radio as you drive on
we don't care where we are
we don't care if we arrive soon
