[Vs] You come to an age where your worry and your faith

Feel like fine lines between life and death

Hold yourself up like you're made out of stone and hope there's

Still enough good inside you left

It's a well-oiled machine - this American Dream

Oh, I like the idea but it's cruel and it's mean and

She's a thorn in your side, but she shortens the night

And the love you found wasn't love that you need

[Chorus] So don't stay here too long

Standing in one place

You'll start begging for mercy

You'll forget about the grace

And I've heard that the Devil wears - he wears an angels face

If you stay here too long you'll start thinking they're one and the same

[Vs] I wasn't around to see the glory of this town

When she was working like they say she oughta be

Now they're just stories of the olden days

They're told in the strangest ways

Like troubles of the times didn't mean a thing

You start stacking up your pride

In a dream that's all but died

‘Til you're left with a wall ten stories built around your mind

It's still a thorn there in your side

But you're aching for the light

So you travel on and try to travel light

[Repeat Chorus]

[Br] I just wanna drive until I'm one with the line

That runs the distance from the east to the west

Travel through the quiet towns ‘til all the city noise dies down

Try to run these ghosts out of my head

[Ch] ‘Cause if I stay here too long

Standing in one place

I start begging for mercy

I forget all about the grace

And I know that the devil wears an angels face

I've fallen for it one too many times, I hate to say

They ain't one and the same
