Leavin' here on a goodbye road
been holdin' on for too long
One way out still open to me
just be a rock rolling stoned
City lights, summer nights
the modern day call of the wild

Faces come, the faces go
all looking for someone to be
I don't mind. I do fine
There's nowhere that I'd rather be
On a mainline
fast road to nowhere
A straight line
fast road to nowhere

Don't you cry, baby don't ask why
and what does this all mean to me
Sometimes it just seems to be
we all have need to break free
I don't mind. I do fine
There's nowhere that I'd rather be

On a mainline
the fast road to nowhere

Take me along for the ride of no return
There's fire in your eyes
and fire in the heat of the night
