It's been a long time since I've seen the high plains of Expectation
  and I'm way past the lowlands and the deserts of Failure and Doubt
  and the last time I passed through Satisfaction
  I felt like a stranger there
  Now I'm leaving Normal and I'm heading for Who Knows Where
  
  "Excuse me mister, is that seat taken,
  can I put my bag over here
  You know this trip will go a whole lot smoother
  if you take your hand from there
  No, I'm not from around here
  and my name's not Little Darling"
  Why is there one in every crowd
  and why do I attract them?
  
  Funny how the smell of a Greyhound bus
  now smells like a fresh start to me
  and now the sounds of the steelbelts on the blacktop
  is now the sounds of breaking free
  
  But I'd trade all those cancelled tickets
  for a single return fair to a station
  with a loved one waiting there
  
  I've finally learned that there's good and bad
  and that a girl can do some choosing
  Of that I'm glad cause this hardened face
  won't take any more bruising
  
  Yeah, and the next time I fall into another's arms
  there's one thing of which I'll be certain
  Yeah, you can bare the weight of another, baby
  without considering it a burden

  Now I'm leaving Normal wherever I'm heading
  I don't care
