lyrics

Move along, drive ahead
You gotta go and keep up the standards
Traffic hour, a flaming wreck
Staring straight into the embers

And it takes too much time
Just to get back in line
And you wait up all night
For a miracle or a satellite

Butterflies on the stage
Never let em know that you’re half there
All they say is you did great
Now put it away and get outta here

And it takes too much time
Just to let it slide
And you wait up all night
For an encore or a Miller Lite

I finally made it home
Throwing my shoes at the sofa
Adrenaline more than anything
Keeps me going when it’s over

And it takes its toll
Rock n roll
And I wait for a sign
For a miracle or a Miller Lite
So cynical in the moonlight
And it’s beautiful when it’s done right
