no more dreams of the southwest i just got a taste and a little dust from every state caught underneath my shoes that ll never wash away i m no stranger to the rust we made this with our hands from a billion other grains of sand i d rather have gray skies spotlights can burn through any man call it a clean slate not just a mistake for all this time all this time it may be different but i don t feel so bad now there are no promises out there maybe i can t see straight it eventually evaporates got a slight change of plans i ll call some good friends of mine i m never going back or at least for some time and first a train off track i ll come back like an avalanche call it a clean slate not just a mistake for all this time all this time it may be different but i don t feel so bad now i ll find myself i ll find myself call it a clean slate not just a mistake for all this time all this time it may be different but i don t feel so bad now call it a clean slate not just a mistake for all this time all this time it may be different but i don t feel so bad now
