Everyday Is a Winding Road

I hitched a ride with a vending machine repair man
He says he's been down this road more than twice
He was high on intellectualism
I've never been there but the brochure looks nice
Jump in, let's go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low,
These are the days when anything goes

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

He's got a daughter he calls Easter
She was born on a Tuesday night
I'm just wondering why I feel so all alone
Why I'm a stranger in my own life
Jump in, let's go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Everybody gets high, everybody gets low
These are the days when anything goes

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

I've been swimming in a sea of anarchy
I've been living on coffee and nicotine
I've been wondering if all the things I've seen
Were ever real, were ever really happening

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

Everyday is a winding road

Sugarland Collapse

Warning, you are going to see the stage, the entire damn structure, collapse onto the crowd. It is not for the weak of heart. 70-77mph winds in advance of a storm cell absolutely leveled the stage structure. Warning of inclimate weather was given and fans were being instructed to start exiting the are, but the warning just didn't come anywhere near soon enough. Thunderstorms then hindered rescue efforts about 30-60 minutes later.

My friend and her young daughter were there tonight. They are well. I've been covering this all evening on twitter. My last count is 4 dead, 41 red and yellow casualties taken to area hospitals. I don't have numbers on green casualties. Operations have ended as 3 rescue dogs gave an all clear around 1130-1140pm EST.
