Can You Hear Me Knocking

When I’m up there in Chicago well the southland’s on my mind.

Then I’m dreaming down in Texas of those northern lights.

See I run this highway up and down to the tune of an old church hymn.

Can you hear me knocking?

I’m letting myself in.

Hey can you hear me knocking Nashville, Tennessee?

Can you hear my knocking New York City?

Why don’t ya just leave that front porch light on.

I’ll be there before too long.

Can you hear me knocking?

I’m letting myself in.

Can you hear me knocking?

Just show me to the stage.

I know that I could quit this life

and hyphenate my name.

You know I might be blind from these long white lines,

but I love it just the same.
