A Turn of the Page

On a dark road to nowhere
Listening to the engine's endless drone
Like a discord of music or the sound of a woman's moan

And my thoughts start to wander as they often do
White line fever is my state of mind through and through
As it takes me to places I never wanted too

That's how it goes
That's what I mean
Another town and place
Another turn of the page

Pulled into the Blue Mambo Diner
Feeling so tired and so cold from the road
Pretending everything was okay just wanting to explode

And those voices kept up their banter
Couldn't get them out of my head
I was outnumbered by their promises left for dead

That's how it goes
That's what I mean
Another town and place
Another turn of the page

And the moon plays an overture
Even when I close my tired eyes
Travelling on this road to nowhere how time flies

Later in the deep night lying wide awake
In another unnamed motel caught unawares it's getting late
Smoking my last cigarette thinking about another date

That's how it goes
That's what I mean
Another town and place
Another turn of the page...
