Anywhere the Engine Wants to Go

Lyrics

I can't sit still, there's a fire in my feet
There's a hum in the wires of the night
The clock on the wall is too slow for my pulse
And the road has gone silver and bright
I've a coat on my back and the keys in my hand
And no map and no reason to stay
So I'm leaving the lamplight, the kettle, the chair
And I'm following the dawn on its way

Wheels on the gravel, wind in my face
Nothing is holding me, nothing's in place

Take me anywhere the engine wants to go
Over the hills where the wild winds blow
I don't need an answer, I don't need a sign
Only the horizon and a long white line
Take me anywhere the engine wants to go
Out where the restless rivers flow
Every mile is a door swinging wide
Take me anywhere, take me for the ride

Past the fields with their sleeping gold
Past the towns that are folding their lights
Past the bridges that hum underneath me
Through the thin blue edge of the night
I used to think stillness was safety
Now I know it was only a wall
And the wind is a hand that is beckoning
And I'm answering the call

Wheels on the gravel, wind in my face
Nothing is holding me, nothing's in place

Take me anywhere the engine wants to go
Over the hills where the wild winds blow
I don't need an answer, I don't need a sign
Only the horizon and a long white line
Take me anywhere the engine wants to go
Out where the restless rivers flow
Every mile is a door swinging wide
Take me anywhere, take me for the ride

And if I lose the way, I'll find a better one
If I run out of road, I'll sing until the sun
Comes up over the water, comes up gold and slow
And I'll know

Take me anywhere the engine wants to go
Over the hills where the wild winds blow
I don't need an answer, I don't need a sign
Only the horizon and a long white line
Take me anywhere the engine wants to go
Out where the restless rivers flow
Every mile is a door swinging wide
Take me anywhere, take me for the ride

Anywhere
Take me for the ride
