Far Lights - Lyrics by Used Cars


Lyrics
(N. Bottini)
When I was six years old, I used to reach that road
And when the sun went down, I could see those far lights glowin'I stood there for a while, then I went back to my house
Thinkin' about the far lights
The people in this town, walk starin' at the ground
I had nothin' to say, so I went to watch those lights
And then a friend of mine, he told me "it's just another town"I said "I don't believe you !"
But I've never been so brave to check if he was right
So I'm wanderin' around
Watchin' trucks passin' by
Never gonna hitch a ride
To the far lights
A sad blue neon light, is shinin' in this bar
And when she came inside, she spoke with sparklin' eyes
She asked about those lights, they told her "it's a town"
She cried "I don't believe you !"
So I took her hand and then we ran outside
In a breathless run
We went straight to the roadside
We were tryin' to hitch a ride
To the far lights
At the city limits sign, I felt she had a start
Her hand slipped off from mine, and she whispered "goodbye"
And when I turned around, she was no more in sight
I thought "I must believe it !"
Took a deep breath then I kept on with my ride
In a breathless run
I kept runnin' straight on
Still hitchin' a ride
To the far lights
I ran lookin' ahead
All along the roadside
I was tryin' to hitch a ride
To the far lights
