Would you even notice if you were let down easy
If you were let down easy would you even know
Looks like we?re alone now or would you even wonder
Way too busy biding time to see we?re growing old
And those rolling balls of thunder streaking ?cross the summer night
I?m heading toward the county line doing 95
I left my friends and family here keep a watch on my hometown
Heading west cause it?s in my blood find a place to settle down
Drive all night till the sunrise heats my back in Mexico
Follow eagles soaring above showing me the way
And those rolling balls of thunder streaking ?cross the summer night
I?m heading toward the county line doing 95
The gold rush here has come and gone betcha life I can find me some
Heading north in a couple of days got to get to Hibbing
This land was once a simple place prairie dogs outlaws
Cowboys and mining towns but now it?s gone away
And those rolling balls of thunder streaking ?cross the summer night
I?m heading toward the county line doing 95
Call myself an American but never slept on no freight train
Never been to Santa Fe never shot a gun
And I?ll never find what I?m looking for out here in the countryside
All my heroes are long gone guess I?m coming home
And those rolling balls of thunder streaking ?cross the summer night
I?m heading toward the county line doing 95
