Diamonds On My Windshield (looking For)

Tom Waits

Well these diamonds on my windshield

And these tears from heaven

Well I'm pulling into town on the Interstate

I got a steel train in the rain

And the wind bites my cheek through the wing

And it's these late nights and this freeway flying

It always makes me sing



There's a Duster tryin' to change my tune

Whispers 'home at last'

It whispers 'home at last'

Whispers 'home at last'

It whispers 'home at last'

Whispers 'home at last'



And there are diamonds on my windshield

And these tears from heaven

Well I'm pulling into town on the Interstate
