The Modern Western World

From turnpikes to highways and gravel into dust
 From soybeans to silhouettes advancing in the dusk
 Sky above, I fell in love while I was sitting still
 The rate at which the Rust Belt fades to Appalachian hills, oh
 Drive south as history unfolds
 The all-inspiring, death-defying, metamodern world
 Take my word, I think we'll be alright
 Lost myself along the way, but had the greatest time
 I'll pass you somewhere in the night

 Stranger out in Utah gestures towards the muddy car
 He said, "Hey are you nomads, did you come from somewhere far?"
 I said, "I don't know, man, but it feels that way today"
 This highway is the last breath of an empire in decay, oh
 Drive south as history unfolds
 The all-providing, soon-expiring, modern Western world
 Take my word, I think we'll be alright
 Lost myself along the way, but had the greatest time
 I'll pass you somewhere in the night
