No more dreams of the southwest   I just got a taste   And a little dust from every state   Caught underneath my shoes   That'll never wash away      I'm no stranger to the rust   We made this with our hands   From a billion other grains of sand   I'd rather have gray skies   Spotlights can burn through any man      Call it a clean slate   Not just a mistake   For all this time, all this time   It may be different   But I don't feel so bad now      There are no promises out there   Maybe I can't see straight   It eventually evaporates   Got a slight change of plans   I'll call some good friends of mine   I'm never going back   Or at least for some time   And first a train off track   I'll come back like an avalanche      Call it a clean slate   Not just a mistake   For all this time, all this time   It may be different   But I don't feel so bad now      I'll find myself   I'll find myself      Call it a clean slate   Not just a mistake   For all this time, all this time   It may be different   But I don't feel so bad now      Call it a clean slate   Not just a mistake   For all this time, all this time   It may be different   But I don't feel so bad now
