Lyrics:
Moved out west of town
Because I drove myself to death
Everyone around me talks so much
That they talked me out of here
And your hand is slipping down into the places
That I need to be touched When i'm down
And I remember this
As I send you, away

I treat you like a house
That I moved into and out
And I moved your stuff around
When I thought no one was home
Treat you like a lie
I keep telling to myself
Because I want it to be true
And I know some day it will

If we build a highway
That runs through stoplights
To the oldest parts of town
Still looking for that place
Las Chivas, Atlantis, Hiawatha
Had built and burned down

I need to know forgiveness
Like a season needs a change
Here's an open invitation to my home
Four wheels driving away
And at night I'd ask the old man sitting there
If he'd change anything he had done
He said "No regrets boy,
There's no remorse boy, you just move on"

Because everybody knows
There's a ray of hope that grows
In a field out by the river
Where the neighbors are your friends
I know that you'll be there
Sitting cross legged on the front porch
Rocking forward, spinning records
Neil is singing "Harvest Moon"

If we build a highway
That runs through stoplights
To the oldest parts of town
Still looking for that place
Las Chivas, Atlantis, Hiawatha
Had built and burned down
