lyrics

I woke up in a bus headed out of Ohio
I'm not sure where I wanna go
A million cornstalks wave at me
I'd wave back, but they can't see.

The other passengers are all captured in their own fantasies
And each with their thoughts that I'll never get to read

If I wanted to come home today, I would have taken the train

Monday Morning
How did I get so far from dreams
I used to have where I was a king
And I was a queen?
Now my castle's full of dragons and thieves
I'm on my journey, and I'm in no hurry
So you'll never catch me

Stopped for a walk in a park somewhere in New Jersey
I don't know where that could be
I never found the water tower with the county's name

I won't go back again to most places
They'll forget my face and won't write a letter
But I wouldn't miss them

If I get to see you twice, I look forward to a third time

Monday Morning
How did I get so far from dreams
I used to have where I was a king
And I was a queen?
Now my castle's full of dragons and thieves
I'm on my journey, and I'm in no hurry
So you'll never catch me

Monday Morning
How did I get so far from dreams
I used to have where I was a king
And I was a queen?
Now my castle's full of dragons and thieves
I'm on my journey, and I'm in no hurry
So you'll never catch me

Monday Morning
How did I get so far from dreams
I used to have where I was a king
And I was a queen?
Now my castle's full of dragons and thieves
I'm on my journey, and I'm in no hurry
So you'll never catch me
