There’s a car on a restless highway
California pulls it west
Dust beneath the endless tires
We leave behind what we love best.

And when I look out the other window,
You’d think I’d see it different now
But there’s only here and gone
What’s between us all got lost somehow…got lost
somehow.

But there’s a star at the edge of the ocean
And I’ll rescue you; I’ll rescue you.
There’s a dream at the dawn of tomorrow
And I’ll wait for you; I’ll wait for you.

There’s a night at the end of the summer.
Every wind keeps blowing me there.
So many plans I can’t remember.
So many promises caught in the web of your hair.

And there was a page in our nation’s story
When the work was gone and times were lean
And people took to their cars just like I’ve done
Believed that they could drive themselves to the
American dream…the American dream

And my backseat mind steers me to the shore
Wake up from dreams just wanting more
Still looking for something I can trust
Rose of Sharon blooming in the desperate dust.

And what we’re made of is the people who love us.
But some women get used to making do.
And some men just break under history’s hammer
And the good life keeps just passing through

But I saw a star at the edge of the ocean
Will you rescue me? Will you rescue me?
There’s a dream at the dawn of tomorrow
Will you wait for me? Will you wait for me?
