It's a muggy night in Houston 
And all the intersections are like full service stations 
I'm on my way to a familiar place 
It's cold in Kansas City 
And you can no more hear me than I can see your face 
How I wish it was just you and me 

We wouldn't have to talk above the crowd 
We wouldn't have to talk so loud 

I give my life and all I am 
But what I have to give 
So I hand you a candid photograph of this little boy 
'Cause I have nothing to my name 
But I can give you that 

I don't miss the driving 
Seems like forever 
And I'm always driving in my mind 
And wearing out the road that gets me there 

And I'm driving till my eyes just can't see straight 
But I suppose that it's getting late 

I may never find the sleep 
I've lost all feeling in my hands and 
Feet may touch the ground but 
My mind's somewhere north of here
