Yeah, between the doors, shakin' heads and thinking light about
Who you're with, where you are
Blue lightning hittin' trees and lighting roads
Won't let me get too down
'Cause sometimes, you can be let down
You move on ahead in quicksand and you hope
You're still goin' East, boy
It's dreamy all day drives and short parades
And I won't let it mess with my head
Just grin and live it while you can with wonderment
With eyes wide open
I'm taking in all I can
The small town darkness
Is singing by in trance, I'm feeling glad
You and your friends drink, laugh and pass out
Keeping good things close
Fought 'til the end, it's hard to keep it all fun
I won't let it mess with my head
Won't let it mess with sleeping friends or their wonderment
With eyes wide open
I'm taking in all I can
Small town darkness
Is singing by in trance, I'm feeling weird
Though the day's been really long
I still feel I'm close to nowhere
I wouldn't let no one take my place
No one
Oh yeah, a warm bed, in my head
I can see the tidal wave of disappointment
See the lights shining over there
Through the night, I am on the way
On the way
On the way
On the way
On the way
With eyes wide open
I'm taking in all I can
Small town darkness
Is singing by in trance, I'm
With eyes wide open
I'm taking in all I can
Small town darkness
Is singing by in trance, I am feeling glad
