Lyrics

Forty Days

Forty days and forty nights
Driving down the highway
She’s an old friend of mine
Another city
But they all feel the same
In their own way
Every day

I wake up in a parking lot
Somewhere in middle America
There’s no time to think about it
Poetry in motion
Waiting for the night to come
And I’m not the only one
There’s something going on around here
My dear

Forty days and forty nights
Out of mind and out of sight
On the road again
It feels like the first time
I’ve been waiting all my life
For this moment to arrive
Forty days and forty nights
My my my my

The doors are open
All the people filing in
You can feel the electricity
The show will soon begin
When the lights go down an hour from now
That’s when the adrenaline kicks in
It’s good to be together again
My friends

Forty days and forty nights
Out of mind and out of sight
On the road again
It feels like the first time
I’ve been waiting all my life
For this moment to arrive
Forty days and forty nights
My my my my

Forty days and forty nights
Underneath a big umbrella
Standing in the spotlight
What a feeling, what a life
The song will soon be over
But the memories will still remain
It’s all the same

Forty days and forty nights
Out of mind and out of sight
On the road again
It feels like the first time
I’ve been waiting all my life
For this moment to arrive
Forty days and forty nights
My my

I’ve been waiting all my life
But now it’s time to say goodbye
Forty days and forty nights
My my, my my
