Back in town all by myself
I should go dancing, take my boots off the shelf
Don't be concerned, babe, at least not yet
I am still happy to be breathing in

You know I have been, you know I have been traveling
Through the air and down the highway
Like a javelin
Towards this old cowtown in the bible belt
Remember when they asked us, baby, just how it felt
To be alone in the middle of Middle America
When the sun moves behind the moon and the Earth goes black
Mama, it's like that
Mama, it's like that

How long's forever, babe? Is it just one day?
The day we go in, then we escape
Am I a has-been, am I a husband?
Could this be our life, babe?
Could you be my wife when

Everything ending now?
Into a beginning now (Hey-hey)
When you fall, you get back up and run
And time paints a picture now (Hey-hey)
The world will eclipse you now (Hey-hey)
And when you fall, you get back up and run

Towards this old cowtown in the bible belt
Remember when they asked us, baby
Just how it felt to be alone, just the two of us
In Middle America
When the moon moves behind the sun and the Earth lights up
Mama, Mama, Mama, that was us

Paint a picture now, time paints a picture now
When you fall, you get back up and run
Mama, that was us
And time paints a picture now
We can just figure out
When you fall, you get back up and run
Mama, that was us
Paint a picture, time paints a picture now
When you fall, you get back up and run
Mama, that was us
Time paints a picture now,
We can just figure out
When you fall, you get back up, don't run
