Turning With The Century - Sonny Landreth

In the evolution of you and I

Living under the everlasting sky

From a smoke signal to a cell phone

And call waiting where the buffalo roamed

Free spirited gypsy souls

Shedding Eden on a serpentine road

Tires hissing with a mystic drone

Can’t you hear that flat snake moan?

Well that’s the road rolling out from under our feet

Turning with the century

Like the road rolling out from under out feet

We are turning with the century

Like a sleepy town with a runaway train

We had a full head of steam and fitful dreams

But didn’t we make rhythm of the roughest rides

On the back of the beat, side by side?

On the road rolling out from under our feet

Turning with the century

Like the road rolling out from under out feet

We are turning with the century

From an ear to the ground to the info age

And a run in the jungle to a walk in space

The big picture is straining my eyes

But I dig the view and I’m mesmerized

By the road rolling out from under our feet

Turning with the century

Like the road rolling out from under out feet

We are turning with the century
