I am sailing away on a highway paved in silver
I am descending slow down the far side of the mountain
and I will drive as far as I can before my vision fails, darlin'

in the still of a September evening laden with rain
with the plains of St. Augustine cloaked in fog all around me
I can't escape from the dark that shades your sad lovely eyes, darlin'

I will drive all the lonesome way to Magdalena
I will sit in an old brick diner by the highway
and you will still be there in the reflections shifting across the glass, darlin'

and should you be some where on a far grey road in New Mexico
and the sky should split open with fire born from nothing
will you think of me and what could have been if you'd gambled and won, darlin'
