Lyrics
There's a shine on the highway tonight in the snow
I'm going somewhere but God only knows
How I'll get there and when, God only knows
There's a shine on the highway tonight in the snow
I feel the engine hum up through the wheel
Nothing like human, just rubber and steel
I wish I was like that, or maybe a stone
Not a nest of snakes trapped in a coffin of bone
Each morning you look out and it looks the same
Nothing much happens here out on the plains
Just buffalo, ghosts, snow endless as pain
Some people grow old here, some people grow strange
La la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
The kids they got out just as fast as they could
One's down in St. Paul, one's up to no good
You're a long dog now too though I wish that you weren't
You'd think that by now that I might could have learned
Keep off of the fire roads, don't slow down for wrecks
But I still smell the wood smoke in the small of your neck
And the thought of you catches me right in my chest
Time heals all wounds but sometimes time forgets
La la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
Evan Williams slumps down off the passenger seat
To join a Sioux friend rolling under my feet
I open the window, I let in the night
It's sixteen below but man I feel all right
I did all that I could, Lord you know that I tried
It's just heaven's gate's locked from the inside
But the door to the past is opened up wide
I close my eyes and I step inside
There's a shine on the highway tonight in the snow
I'm going somewhere but God only knows
How I'll get there and when, God only knows
There's a shine on the highway tonight in the snow
