Intro: then x2 verse 1: In cruise control to the wreck of me I lay my head up against the wheel and dream Highway forty five O nine Stretches across this wicked dream of mine Abated only by the engine drone The silence takes hold then I'm home Refrain 1: Phantoms and shadows take control of the wheel The smell of gasoline sex and steel Somewhere I lost my way and you got brave And now here I lay verse 2: Somewhere in this highways moan The Angels dare to guide my way Strychnine and broken spine The engine wanes Seat belt tightens across my chest Broken glass and plastic finally come to rest Refrain 2: Coz all my senses come alive and start to shake me Broken bones and the smile that you left Chorus 1: Magnolia don't pray for me All the warning signs I never cared to see Magnolia all direction lost I took the ride and I paid the cost Interlude: x8 Bridge: No illustrious collaboration somewhere outta time alone and You're the one that made it out You're the shadow and the doubt Refrain 3: A lonely ambulance is heard across the highway With sirens screaming out your name Chorus 2: Magnolia don't pray for me All the warning signs I never cared to see Magnolia all direction lost And you're the one that's moving on don't your razor steel collapse and burn away Crosses line and Angels prey Cruise control to the very wreck of me The warning signs I was too blind to see Magnolia all direction lost You're the one (hold) that's moving on
