Another pleasant day in the countryside
Ended up in tears on a stormy night
'Cause you can't follow my directions home
Don't stop now
God knows where the satellite's taking us
Can't tell what is right in front of us
But I hang on every word
Don't stop now
No, don't stop now
Give me something I can write about
Get fooled by the lightning every time
See the after image of my outline
Then you turn the wrong way ‘round
Well, don't stop now
No, don't stop now
Give me something I can write about
Give me something I can cry about
In a church house ten miles out of town
Is the devil gonna track me down?
When you travel through a tunnel in the trees
Just remember that's how you get to me
There's no number on the house
The birds are heading South
Sometimes you have to turn
The wrong way ‘round
Sometimes you get too close to nowhere now
Restless, hopeful, in silence I wait
With a blank piece of paper on the top of my head
And all I want is something I can write about
All I want is something I can cry about
Ooh
Ended up in tears on a stormy night

No, don't stop now
Give me something I can write about

All I want is something I can cry about
Ooh
