Looking At The World Through A Windshield Lyrics - Son Volt

One, two, one 

Well, when I was just a little bitty kid 

I remember one time Mommy said 

"Daddy sends you all his love from 'Frisco Bay" 

Well I didn't understand till I was grown 

Why my Daddy didn't spend a little time at home 

Instead of running round the country that way 

Woh, I'm looking at the world through a windshield 

Seeing everything in a little bit different light 

I got a sweet little thing that I'm dying to see in Nashville 

And I'm down around Dallas and roll on south tonight 

Well, long strips of rubber that you see 

Were burnt off of this rig by the likes of me 

And they'll rot along the highways in this land 

I'm gonna write my name in this diesel smoke 

And let the ones that come along behind me choke 

And try to keep this pace I'm setting anytime that they can 

Woh, I'm looking at the world through a windshield 

Watching it fly by me on the right 

I got a sweet little thing that I'm dying to see in Nashville 

And I'm down around Dallas and roll on south tonight 

Well, I push this rig through the sleet and rain 

And I've driven through the rough terrain 

Of the rockies to the docks of old L.A. 

On down that old Pacific shore 

I swing north and head for Baltimore 

Or some place 'bout 2000 miles away 

Woh, I'm looking at the world through a windshield 

Watching it fly by me on the right 

I got a sweet little thing that I'm dying to see in Nashville 

And I'm down around Dallas and roll on south tonight 

And I'm down around Dallas and roll on south tonight
