So you think you found something you can believe in
Then find that it's moved very far away
Success is just a word to keep you running
So many people act as if they know the way
I know that nothing's gonna change if you keep looking that way
We know there's more to this than meets the eye
So don't think you can't see what I see
And I see
The distance that surrounds you
The distance all around you
From the caves of France to the tablets of Sumeria
Siberia to Central Mexico
It crossed the dirted plains to Austin, Texas
It always seems to come and never fails to go
Chasing dreams, chasing dreams
I think I found a better place to go
I think I found a better place to go
It hid on hitch hike trails and songs of freedom
Then woke itself in Memphis, Tennessee
While Buddy Holly died inside an airplane
It went from Minnesota to the village N.Y.C.
Chasing dreams, chasing dreams
I think I found a better place to go
No I think I'm goin' the right way
No I think I'm goin' the wrong way
No I think I'm gonna go to Colorado
No I changed my mind I'm gonna do Chicago
That surrounds you
All around you
It covered its tracks back to San Francisco
Some people argue Kesey never bowed
From Detroit, Michigan to Britain, England
Motown cried real hard, and then she laughed real loud
Chasing dreams, chasing dreams
I think I found a better place to go
I think I found a better place to go
Surprise, it landed down in Athens, Georgia
It came up like the sun a couple years ago
Some still think it's in Seattle with that Grunge thing
But I just saw it and it's headed back for Mexico
Chasing dreams, chasing dreams
I think I found a better place to go
Why does everything seem simple in the first play
When we know that 99.9% won't make it, Yin Yang
Nothing will change if you don't see
The distance that surrounds you
The distance all around you |
