Yeah, between the doors, shakin' heads   And thinking light about who you're with, where you are   Blue lightning hittin' trees and lighting roads   Won't let me get too down   'Cause sometimes you can be let down      You move on ahead in quicksand   You hope you're still goin' east boy   It's dreamy all day drives and short parades   And I won't let it mess with my head   Just grin and live it while you can with wonderment      With eyes wide open   I'm taking in all I can   The small town darkness   Is singing by in trance   I'm feeling glad      You and your friends drink, laugh and pass out   Keeping good things close   Fought till the end, it's hard to keep it all fun   But I won't let it mess with my head   Won't let it mess with sleeping friends or their wonderment      With eyes wide open   I'm taking in all I can   The small town darkness   Is singing by in trance   I'm feeling wierd      Though the day's been really long   I still feel I'm close to nowhere   And I wouldn't let no one take my place, oh, no one   Oh yeah, a warm bed in my head   I can see the tidal wave of disappointment      See the lights shining over there   Through the night I am on the way   On the way, on the way   On the way, on the way      With eyes wide open   I'm taking in all I can   The small town darkness   Is singing by in trance   I'm      With eyes wide open   I'm taking in all I can   The small town darkness   Is singing by in trance   I'm feeling glad
