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 awe-inspiring death-defying metamodern world (oh) 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 A 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 (oh) 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 --- The Modern Western World - Vansire
