lyrics

(instrumental, unhurried)

Eleven years of eighteen wheels and truck stop coffee
You learn the shape of every state by how the road complains
No radio for the last four years, it broke in Amarillo
(Amarillo)
Best thing that ever happened to my thinking

A man alone with his own voice
(his own voice)
Either finds religion or finds out

Two lane gospel
(two lane)
Everything I know I learned at sixty-five
Two lane gospel
Nobody preaching, nobody lying

Called my daughter from a payphone in Nebraska
She was twelve and she asked when, and I said soon
That was the last easy conversation we had
(we had, we had)
She's thirty now and she still says soon back

There's a version of a man who turned around
Somewhere outside Cheyenne
I think about him more than I should
(drums return, gently)

Two lane gospel
(two lane)
Everything I know I learned at sixty-five
Two lane gospel
Nobody preaching, nobody lying

(two lane gospel...)
