lyrics

An hour to the city gates smokestack breathes Indiana lays
Under skeletons of trees floating on frozen lakes
Out in the distance I can see the tower rise
An exit from the Interstate in the heart of Chicago
Three story buildings cover every block I know
Will Milwaukee take me where I need to go?
I stepped into an elevator with some people that I knew
I told them where I'd like to go and what did they do?
Turned around and pushed the button
And everyone walked out
So disjointed again most of these streets never made sense
But the wind gets colder as you get older
With patience thin it's hard to wait
Standing at the very gate that drove you here
Old Midwest under pale white skies
See the sun in the car headlights
And ever-fields with lone red barns
Staring back into your car
I made my way up toward the top
Past the people that got out early on and better for it
But somehow I ignored it
The car was running and it was time to leave
So disjointed again most of these streets never made sense
But the wind feels colder as you get older
With patience thin it's hard to win
Standing at the very gate you can't get in
Somewhere out on the open road
You're sure to drive across the tracks
The one's that mean a part of your life ain't coming back
And when you get there you may pause
But you'll go on
So disjointed again none of these streets ever made sense
But the wind is colder now that you are older
With patience gone it won't be long
Singing the very song that drove you on
