State Lines

I dreamed that I was flying at three thousand feet
In a 747 with a window seat and
I was feeling free, sitting fat
Like champagne up in first class

Till I woke up in a desert down near LAX
Addressing the proximity of where my heart is at

(chorus)
I'm crossing state lines
Over the border
Turning a corner now
I'm crossing state lines


I made it through the badlands and planetary winds that
Pushed me to the fall line in deep water and then
The unforeseen, and fly-by-night
Till I was a prisoner in my own life

Going up a jagged mountain I fell on a breeze
That threw me on this train now carrying me

(chorus)
I'm crossing state lines
Over the border
Turning a corner now
I'm crossing state lines

(bridge)

Dream on baby dream on baby dream on
It’s been long time coming
Dream on baby dream on baby dream on
It’s been long long time coming



We’re all just archeologists diggin’ up the past
But dirt is just geography; specks on the map
And it makes no difference what comes next
If I’m spending it all on regret

There’s no giving up by this wayside denying
‘Cuz I’m either busy living or busy dying
