Lyrics

Devils dance on the asphalt plain,
Till the dust and dirt are all that remain
Our boots are worn, our faces tanned,
We're on our way to the promised land

We chase our dreams down the interstate
With more faith than our luck would indicate

It's an endless road to the great divide
We'll see what's waiting on the other side
An endless road to the great divide
Take your time and enjoy the ride

We wake each morning to the same low drone,
This is the life that we've always known,
Of engines moving with a heavy load,
Down a weary path where delusions flowed

We chase our dreams down the interstate
With more faith than our luck would indicate

It's an endless road to the great divide
We'll see what's waiting on the other side
An endless road to the great divide
Take your time and enjoy the ride

Beneath the light of the setting sun,
We gather round when the work is done.
We tell our stories, the seeds are sown,
And tend the fire where the stars have shown

Somewhere up in the stratosphere
Exists a life that's better than here

It's an endless road to the great divide
We'll see what's waiting on the other side
An endless road to the great divide
Take your time and enjoy the ride
