Lyrics

Driving down I-5
I don’t ever want to die
Cuz I’d no more get to see
All this beauty passing by me

Laundry on the line
Truckers passing on the right
Every color on the wind
You know you’re living if you’ve sinned

Down I-5, down I-5

My shoulder’s burning in the window
I should roll it up I know
I pass the signs that promise hell
But they don’t know me at all

Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to endless night
Born to endless night

But for now all is well
I see the horses on the hill
I smell the cut grass on the air
I feel the wind hot in my hair

Down I-5, down I-5

Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to endless night
Cruel hoax and lightning strikes
I’ve tasted both they are the same
Into each other turn again

Driving down I-5
I don’t ever want to die
Cuz I’d no more get to see
All this beauty passing by me
