A woman read a romance And I could smell her fragrance All the way to Baltimore Every guy with a cell phone Kept on trying to call home Except nobody's home anymore In a torn seat with a big stain Where somebody lost their loose change And somebody shoved their bubble gum I stared out the window Watched the cars watched the world go by I am everyone And all around me The traffic flew The cars were rushing The way cars do Well you know, we got a lot to do before we're done God bless the world and all the ones for whom the night is long And all these drivers and their dreams They look like me Back in Fairfax, Virginia Me and the girls we grew up In homes they built on battlefields Ponytails and panic We were bad, bored and bulimic We longed for something real And right behind me An aisle or two The girls were laughing The way girls do Well you know, we got a lot to do before we're done God bless the world and all the ones for whom the night is long And all these children and their needs They look like me And high above me The sky is blue The clouds are changing The way clouds do Well you know, we got a lot to do before we're done God bless the world and all the ones for whom the night is long And all these drivers and their dreams And all these children and their needs And all the earth and all the trees All in all it looks like me
