Hooray for progress, good times have begun We're traveling first class in Century 21 But it's just the same old blues Just another country road Having conversations criss-cross thru the sky Why bother walking when baby you can fly It's just the same old news Just another country road Banks get bigger while the world grows small They tell me it's better, but the country's in a crawl 'Cause it's just the same old news Just another country road Feel like I'm riding blind And leaving a lot behind You'll book out on that Freedom Train Wind up back at where you started again They grin at the people, say "Drill, baby, drill" But look in the water, it's "Kill, baby, kill" It's just the same old blues Just another country road You save time and paper but you're still on the run Dollar's disappearing like vapor in the sun It's just the same old blues Just another country road
