Lyric Leaving normal

It s been a long time since I ve seen the high planes of Expectation
and I m way past the lowlands and the deserts of Failure and Doubt
and the last time I passed through Satisfaction
I felt like a stranger there
Now I m leaving Normal and I m heading for Who Knows Where

Excuse me mister, is that seat taken,
can I put my bag over here
You know this trip will go a whole lot smoother
if you take your hand from there
No, I m not from around here
and my name s not Little Darling
Why is there one in every crowd
and why do I atttract them?

Funny how the smell of a Greyhound bus
now smells like a fresh start to me
and now the sounds of the steelbelts on the blacktop
is now the sounds of breaking free

But I d trade all those cancelled tickets
for a single return fair to a station
with a loved one waiting there

I ve finally learned that there s good and bad
and that a girl can do some choosing
Of that I m glad cause this hardened face
won t take any more bruising

Yeah, and the next time I fall into another s arms
there s one thing of which I ll be certain
Yeah, you can bare the weight of another, baby
without considering it a burden

It s been a long time since I ve seen the high planes of Expectation
and I m way past the lowlands and the deserts of Failure and Doubt
and the last time I passed through Satisfaction
I felt like a stranger there
Now I m leaving Normal and I m heading for Who Knows Where

Now I m leaving Normal wherever I m heading
I don t care
