Leaving here on a goodbye road

Been holding on for too long

One way out still open to me

Just be a rock rolling stoned



City lights, summer nights

The modern day call of the wild

Faces come, the faces go

All looking for someone to be



I don't mind, I do fine

There's nowhere that I'd rather be



It's the mainline, the fast road to nowhere



Don't you cry, baby, don't ask why

And what does this all mean to me?

Sometimes it just seems to be

We all have need to break free



I don't mind, I do fine

There's nowhere that I'd rather be



On the mainline, the fast road to nowhere

The straight line, the fast road to nowhere



Take me along for the ride

Of no return, no return

There's fire in your eyes

And fire in the heat of the night



City lights, summer nights

There's nowhere that I'd rather be



On the mainline, the fast road to nowhere

The straight line, the fast road to nowhere

The straight line, the fast road to nowhere

On the straight line, the fast road to nowhere
