Ground out cigarettes, new ashtray Never been to Boise but I'm goin' anyway Sometimes the highway beats the destination Mountain men, hipsters, cowboys and duds Seedy mountain tavern serving' Mississippi Mud This life can serve the strangest congregations The sun lays low and the moon hangs high Diamonds pierce the darkened sky Sometimes the best of things creep in the night 'Neath crusted earth in garden rows 'Neath blanket weeds and weathered hoes A dormant seed needs care and it needs light Is the devil in the details, or the details in the devil Destruction or construction give him rise Are you burning in the fire, does the fire burn within you Are you the spark or are you compromised Well the highway sings a hymn into your soul You can hold on tight or you can let it go Revelation rolling like the tires True religion whispered through the miles TV screen, microchips Fake world at your fingertips The age of information sucks you dry Wilted flower on a window sill Deafened heart hears whippoorwill It takes the earth to bring you back to life Stained glass windows, gold inlays Lit up trees and pastel eggs Are these the things that occupy your heart Hungry children, heads that hang Widowed mothers, wars that rage Might I suggest a better place to start Is the devil in the details, or the details in the devil Destruction or construction give him rise Are you burning in the fire, does the fire burn within you Are you the spark or are you compromised Well the highway sings a hymn into your soul You can hold on tight or you can let it go Revelation rolling like the tires True religion whispered through the miles
