I got into my car and I hit the gas
And I vowed that I would never look back
I drove out of my town just as fast as I could
Out to where the wild blue turns black
I turned a corner but I did not see
What was 'round the bend
And I will never be the same
I will never be the same
I will never be the same again
I got horribly lost and I went out of my mind
There was nothing I could recognize
I got out of my car and I ran every which way
But that proved to be extremely unwise
All the people standing 'round
Didn't make a single sound
When I asked them for some simple directions
"What's the name of this place
Can you tell me to my face
Can you please help me to make some connections"
I got back in my car and I hit the gas
And I headed off into the unknown
I felt strangely good and I understood
That in this life I am on my own
