Route - Son Volt

Reality, it burns

The way we’re living is worse

Pillars of inspiration are all falling down

The clean-up won’t work

While the fallout goes on

And it’s now or never

Too close to the latter

We’re all living proof that nothing lasts

Standing in the neutral zone

Living on sleep deprivation

The rural route sleeps

While the city bleeds all over itself

Over the falls in a barrel

Is where the answers have gone

And it’s now or never

Too close to the latter

We’re all living proof that nothing lasts

And it’s here for now

Transient tomorrow

We’re all living proof that nothing lasts

The Mother Road remains

It provides no more

It can only take us away

Southbound

You can taste the weather

It feels like home

And it’s now or never

Too close to the latter

We’re all living proof that nothing lasts

And it’s here for now

Transient tomorrow

We’re all living proof that nothing lasts
