lyrics

rolling on the 101,
I see I'm not the only one,
I wonder where you're going and where you've been-

moving through the evening light,
you're twisting in and out of sight,
I see you disappear around the bend-

ten seconds ahead,
roads unwinding-
right behind me- m
ten seconds ahead,
white lines leading,
on and on and on..

I've followed you for miles now,
sometimes I think you'll leave the ground,
the way you push it when the highway straightens out-

I wonder what your story is,
who you are and how you live,
wonder what your road is all about-

ten seconds ahead,
roads unwinding-
far behind me-
ten seconds ahead,
white lines leading,
on and on and on........

maybe you're running from your past,
(another marker on a twilight mile)
maybe you're running back again,
maybe it's not enough just to widen the gap,
(another marker on a twilight mile)
never far enough vanish,
(I see your tail lights.....)

ten seconds ahead,
roads unwinding-
far behind me-
ten seconds ahead,
white lines leading,
on and on and on.....
