repeat

 time - measured in dotted yellow lines has past you by

 and I never said an honest thing to you in all my life

 hard times go slowly

 and the good times never come

 the world is a motor inn in a iowa highway slum

 when the open road is closing in

 and you can't say where it ends and you begin

 when every truck stop dive's another five years off your life

 when the open road is closing in

 and the dotted yellow lines begin to spin

 when the sky begins to fall on everything you like at all

 you won't be coming home again

ciao you keep on drowning in the roads between the towns

now i have been closing all the shutters in the house

well i know you'll be back when every tree is turning brown

you'll find the house is empty and the swingset's fallen down
