Leaving town with a plan to hitchhike
Catch a ride down the New Jersey Turnpike
With a girl in a white dress
Waking up in the land of Springsteen
Puffy eyed drinking boardwalk caffeine
Feeling young but feeling restless
Lord knows I sleep when I'm dead And
I keep close all the things my grandpa
said to me When I feel alone
It's nice to know I'm just a phone call from home
Fell asleep in some sheets that ain't
mine Checked out before the sunrise
Left a motel key on the dresser
Thought of flying used to scare me
Now the years where I find peace Till I'm home forever
Lord knows I sleep when I'm dead
And I keep close all the things my grandpa
said to me When I feel alone
It's nice to know I'm just a phone call from home
Write down whatever you want Hold tight to the love that you've got
Realize what it is that you need Go and get it while the gas is cheap
While we're young and reckless We'll find a life worth living
Thumbs up in his downtowns Moving too fast to turn around now
But Lord knows I sleep when I'm dead And I
keep close all the things my grandpa said to me
When I feel alone It's nice to know I'm just a phone call from home
