Don't Stop Now

Another pleasant day in the countryside
Has ended up in tears on a stormy night
‘Cause you can’t follow my directions home
But don’t stop now

God knows where the satellite’s taking us
I can’t tell what’s right in front of us
But I hang on every word
And don’t stop now
No, don’t stop now
Give me something I can write about

Get fooled by the lightning every time
See the after-image of my outline
And you turn the wrong way ’round

But don’t stop now
No, don’t stop now
Give me something I can write about
Give me something I can cry about

In a church house ten miles out of town
Is the devil gonna track me down?
And travel through a tunnel in the trees
Just remember that’s how you get to me

There’s no number on the house
The birds are heading south
Sometimes you have to turn
The wrong way ’round
Sometimes you get too close to nowhere now

Restless hopeful in the silence I wait
With my blank piece of paper on the top of my head
And all I want is something I can write about
All I want is something I can cry about
