Strangebyrds - Highway Islands

We've been driving all night trying to make town by morning
And the highway signs only flash lies and warnings
And the places where folks used to go
Empty main streets everything closed
Highway Islands all the same, they take away the local money chain

Easy off easy on, and the town is gone
Easy off easy on and the town is gone

Like the small farms we saw abandoned out in Kansas
Made us feel this empty feeling in our souls
And we wonder why the world's so cruel
They talk about the golden rule
Money does what it wants to do and everyone follows in pursuit

Easy off easy on, and the town is gone
Easy off easy on and the town is gone

Box store fast food everything cheap and greasy
No more Mom and Pops big boys are so greedy

We've been driving all night trying to make town by morning
And the highway signs only flash lies and warnings
And the places where folks used to go
Empty main streets everything closed
Highway Islands all the same, they take away the local money chain

Easy off easy on, and the town is gone
Easy off easy on and the town is gone gone gone

Easy off easy on, and the town is gone
Easy off easy on and the town is gone

Gone gone gone gone
