I breathe the air
I watch the sun
Rise and fall
In twenty-four hours
I breathe

Silver rivers reflect the sun
On black highways I will be done
Mile on mile of empty heat
I will wait for you
I will not look back

Chasing shadows all night long
Indian nation a tattooed arm
Manifest destiny drives my car
I will follow you
I will not look back

I breathe the air
I watch the sun
Rise and fall
In twenty four hours
I breathe the air
I watch the sun
Rise and fall
In twenty-four hours
I breathe

The art of bluff has always practiced on me
I have been fooled by the rock 'n roll dream
All I ever wanted snatched away
By a piece of paper
I will not look back

I breathe the air
I watch the sun
Rise and fall
In twenty four hours
I breathe the air (breathe the air)
I watch the sun (watch the sun)
Rise and fall (rise and fall)
In twenty-four hours
I breathe

I feel your heart beating next to mine
You're the only thing I ever wanted or desired
If I should falter or lose my way
Always believe me
I will not look back

I breathe the air
I watch the sun
Rise and fall
In twenty four hours
I breathe the air (breathe the air)
I watch the sun (watch the sun)
Rise and fall (rise and fall)
In twenty-four hours
Twenty four hours

I breathe the air (breathe the air)
I watch the sun (watch the sun)
Rise and fall (rise and fall)
In twenty-four hours

I breathe the air (breathe the air)
I watch the sun (watch the sun)
Rise and fall (rise and fall)
In twenty-four hours
I breathe
