Son Volt - Route lyrics

Reality, it burns The way we're living is worse The pillars of inspiration are all falling down The clean up won't work While the fallout goes on And it's now or never, too close to the latter We're all living proof that nothing lasts Standing in the neutral zone Living on sleep deprivation The rural route sleeps While the city bleeds all over itself Over the falls in a barrel Is where the answers have gone And it's now or never, too close to the latter We're all living proof that nothing lasts And it's here for now, transient tomorrow We're all living proof that nothing lasts The Mother Road remains But it provides no more It can only take us away Southbound You can taste the weather It feels like home Now or never, too close to the latter We're all living proof that nothing lasts Here for now, transient tomorrow We're all living proof that nothing lasts
