The Bottle Rockets - Cross By The Highway lyrics

The sun's coming out, there's a chill in the air I'm dreaming, and driving, and not really there People drive by me, talking on their cell phones Never in my whole life have I felt so alone In the rocks in the ditch down near old twenty-one There's a cross by the highway, in the rain and the sun From somebody's loved one, it stands night and day A cross by the highway I heard an old preacher just the other day Preaching these streets hard things washed away It is that simple, should it even be My Mom once told me, son nothing here's free In the rocks in the ditch down near old twenty-one There's a cross by the highway, in the rain and the sun From somebody's loved one, it stands night and day A cross by the highway It's a funny old world, and a very strange time And no one can guess these thoughts of mine Small talk and smiles, sports and the weather Acting just like this all lasts forever In the rocks in the ditch down near old twenty-one There's a cross by the highway, in the rain and the sun From somebody's loved one, it stands night and day A cross by the highway
