lyrics

driving down country roads
listening to the Indigo Girls real loud
switch off the lights just for a second now
stars above dirt below
moonlight on the cornfield rows just plowed
switch on the lights feeling alive now

seven stoplights always seem to slow me down
in this modernized mill town
five thousand days I’ve learned what not to say
soon I'll sing it anyway

walking down empty streets
a church on every corner it seems
watching the sun set on mountain laurel leaves
streetlights don't guide my feet
just crickets and a distant stream
a book of myths and a twelve string

seven stoplights always seem to slow me down
it's seven p.m., the siren sounds
five thousand days I’ve learned what not to say
soon I'll sing it anyway

make phone calls on landlines
walk stone walls to pass the time
don’t think about it, don’t mind
don’t fall for her smile
pass in the hall avoiding eyes
I promise we’ll leave this town behind

seven stoplights always seemed to slow me down
in this modernized mill town
five thousand days I learned what not to say
now I’m singing anyway
five thousand days I learned what not to say
watch me singing anyway
five thousand days
I'll make my getaway
