Highways And Cigarettes Lyrics - Son Volt

Got caught up in a breakaway dream 

Destination city of New Orleans 

Cheap motels and [Incomprehensible] 

Cross some bridges for eternity 

Headed west for a two week stay 

And saw the [Incomprehensible] 

[Incomprehensible] is a part of you now 

'Cause a bird sings songs of laughter 

Still out there with the coffee stain 

And puttin' miles on shoes 

Can't escape the smell of cigarettes 

Still livin' out these American midnight blues 

Unless to clear the mind 

With a Mexicali radio station 

Keep an eye out for the border patrol 

Checkin' for drugs and so called aliens 

Highways and dreams forever together 

In the minds of the free and the innocent 

Always a future in a travelers hands 

Starting fires on the river and madness 

Still out there with the coffee stains 

And puttin' miles on shoes 

Can't escape the smell of cigarettes 

Still livin' out these American midnight blues 

Still out there with the coffee stains 

And puttin' miles on shoes 

Can't escape the smell of cigarettes 

Still livin' out these American midnight blues
