No more dreams of the southwest 
I just got a taste 
And a little dust from every state 
Caught underneath my shoes 
That'll never wash away 

I'm no stranger to the rust 
We made this with our hands 
From a billion other grains of sand 
I'd rather have gray skies 
Spotlights can burn through any man 

Call it a clean slate 
Not just a mistake 
For all this time, all this time 
It may be different 
But I don't feel so bad now 

There are no promises out there 
Maybe I can't see straight 
It eventually evaporates 
Got a slight change of plans 
I'll call some good friends of mine 
I'm never going back 
Or at least for some time 
And first a train off track 
I'll come back like an avalanche 

Call it a clean slate 
Not just a mistake 
For all this time, all this time 
It may be different 
But I don't feel so bad now 

I'll find myself 
I'll find myself 

Call it a clean slate 
Not just a mistake 
For all this time, all this time 
It may be different 
But I don't feel so bad now 

Call it a clean slate 
Not just a mistake 
For all this time, all this time 
It may be different 
But I don't feel so bad now
