Leaving here on a goodbye road
Been holding 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

It's the mainline, the 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 the mainline, the fast road to nowhere
The straight line, the fast road to nowhere

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

City lights, summer nights
There's nowhere that I'd rather be

On the mainline, the fast road to nowhere
The straight line, the fast road to nowhere
The straight line, the fast road to nowhere
On the straight line, the fast road to nowhere
