I MOTHER EARTH LYRICS - Shortcut To Moncton

"Shortcut To Moncton"



Between the doors, shakin' heads and thinking

Light about who you're with, where you are

Blue lightning hittin' trees and lighting

Roads won't let me get too down 'cause

Sometimes you can be let down



You move on ahead in quicksand

And you hope you're still goin' east boy

It's dreamy all day drives and short parades

And I won't let it mess with my head

Just grin and live it

While you can...with wonderment



With eyes wide open

I'm taking in all I can

The small town darkness

Is singing by

In trance...I'm feeling glad



You and your friends drink, laugh

And pass out, keeping good things close

Fought till the end, it's hard to keep it all fun

I won't let it mess with my head

Won't let it mess with

Sleeping friends or their wonderment



Though the day's been really long

I still feel I'm close to nowhere

And I wouldn't let no one take my place

A warm bed, in my head I can see

The tidal wave of disappointment

See the lights shining over there

Through the night I am on the way
