Sometimes in the dead of the night
|
I'm dreaming that flying at the speed of light
|
In two seconds I'm brushing past the face of the moon
|
Eight seconds flat on the surface of mars
|
I'm kickin' up the red dust
|
I'm drinkin' in bars
|
I lean back and raise a toast to the stars at night
|
When I'm dreamin' at the speed of light
|
|
Some days I'd just settle for the speed of sound
|
I'd step off this porch and blow a kiss to this whole damn town
|
I'd let off one of them sonic booms
|
And break all the windows in the living rooms
|
I'd blow off the hats of the boys at the old fair grounds
|
Laughing at the speed of sound
|
|
Then you'd said "Go; Why don't you go then
|
"If you wanna go why don't you decide
|
"Pick a road, just decide
|
"Is it a train or a plane or a bride
|
"Decide, decide, decide, decide"
|
|
Your love makes me move at the speed of trees
|
I've laid down some roots
|
I've grown a head full of make believes
|
But if it weren't for that face of yours
|
I'd be rattlin' windows blowin' out doors
|
Look at me here
|
I'm planted square down on my knees
|
Oh on my knees
|
Oh on my knees
|
I'm askin' for the speed of trees
|
Trees
|
Trees
|
Trees
|
