When 'superhighways' were first introduced, experts warned that traveling on them might be so tedious as to induce a stupefied condition they called highway hypnosis.
That's when I woke up,
that's when this whole thing started.
It was an afternoon in July.
Don't recall driving,
don't recall ever arriving.
Not a single cloud in the haze,
not a drop in my eye, no.
You shouldn't have been there,
but there you were anyway,
you couldn't have been out walking
on such a miserable day.
Mirage on old 30,
you walk on a dry sea,
now I'm going.
I turned on the max-AC.
I stopped at the Busy Bee.
I told myself, it just couldn't happen,
it had to be your double,
I laughed and felt sane,
out in the sun too long maybe,
if not the heat, the humidity,
back behind the wheel,
still laughing at myself,
I saw you on the pavement,
a mirage and nothing else.
Mirage on old 30, you walk on a dry sea,
now I'm going, I'm going to meet you,
now I turn my head, and maybe catch
a fleeting glimpse, in the shadows,
in the trees, in my rearview mirror,
now I'm going, I'm going to see you,
out on the Lincoln Highway, I know
you're there, I've seen you there,
you've got to be there.
On the Lincoln Highway.
now I'm going.
