He tells you that you're on his mind
You're the only one he's ever gonna find
It's kind-a special, understands his complicated soul
But the only place a man can breathe
And collect his thoughts is
Midnight and flyin' away on the road.

Well these diamonds on my windshield
And these tears from heaven
Well I'm pulling into town on the Interstate
I got a steel train in the rain
And the wind bites my cheek through the wing
And it's these late nights and this freeway flying
It always makes me sing

Extra bonus, found this friendly fella online...

Immediately thought of you and your pup!
