Lyrics
Black clouds cruising in a midnight sky,
Wild wolf howling so clear and high.
White lines slippin?, nippin?, flippin? on by?
I know I?m gonna get there, but I don?t know why.
I?m gonna gear it up,
I?m gonna move it on down that line.
I?m gonna steer it up,
Once I get home everything is gonna be oh so fine.
Storm clouds climbing in the noonday sun,
Higher and higher baby one by one,
Lightning flashin? every now and then?
I know I?m gonna get there, but I don?t know when..
I?m gonna gear it up,
I?m gonna move it on down that line.
I?m gonna steer it up,
Once I get home everything is gonna be oh so fine.
I?m gonna gear it up,
I?m gonna move it on down the line.
I?m gonna steer it up,
Once I get home everything is gonna be oh so fine.
Later in the evening, sun?s going down,
Rollin? through the outskirts of some sleepy little town.
My mind keeps goin? back from then to now?
I know I?m gonna get there, but I don?t know how.
I?m gonna gear it up,
I?m gonna move it on down that line.
I?m gonna steer it up,
Once I get home everything is gonna be oh so fine.
