Big city: carrying a battered suitcase, craning your neck to see the sky
You've lived here your whole life but everything seems so strange
like you're here for the first time, not saying goodbye
On the road: sleeping in the back of a Greyhound
On the road: with only a dime to your name
On the road: the fields stretching on forever
Oh why do you go?
The woman next to you is reading Dostoevsky;
there's a couple with a baby across the aisle
Only two hours left until Moose Jaw arrives and you start your new life
in a skid row hotel room. It's been awhile.
On the road: sleeping in the back of a Greyhound
On the road: with only a dime to your name
On the road: the fields stretching on forever
Oh why do you go?
You should have listened to your mother
when she told you her prophetic dream:
the flowers were falling and the trees were burning down
She said it was you, she said it was true you would leave home
and in the course destroy your own youth
Since then you've never been able to settle down,
writing words like they were boxcars boxcars in the night
And every where you search for truth
in another new lover, another new town
On the road: sleeping in the back of a Greyhound
On the road: with only a dime to your name
On the road: the fields stretching on forever
Oh why do you go?
Why do you go?
Oh why do you go?
Why do you go?
