Lyrics
Woman driving Mans sleeping,
Describes a scene of a woman driving while a man is sleeping
With a suitcase on the rack,
The man's suitcase is placed on the car rack
White lines shootin by,
Reference to the fast movement of white lines on the road
On the pavement like the sky
Imagery of the pavement resembling the sky
Looking straight ahead into the black
The woman looks straight ahead into the darkness
Woman driving, man sleeping
Reiteration of the woman driving and the man sleeping
There's no radio to play
No radio is available for entertainment
Sitting with the map
The woman is sitting with a map
Laying crumpled on her lap
The map is crumpled on her lap
Look for the toll money to pay
The woman is searching for toll money
Man sleeping is man dreaming
The sleeping man is dreaming in a large apartment house
In a large apartment house
Describes the dream in a large apartment house
Walking and knocking on doors
The dreaming man is walking and knocking on doors
Woman driving man sleeping
Reiteration of the woman driving and the man sleeping
Passin all the other cars
The woman is passing other cars on the road
Searching in the black
Continued search in the darkness without looking back
But never turning to look back
Emphasis on never turning to look back
A little metal box under the stars
A small metal box is mentioned under the stars
Man sleeping is man dreaming
Reiteration of the man sleeping and dreaming
In a large apartment house
Repeats the dream scenario in a large apartment house
Walkin and knockin on doors
Reiterates the walking and knocking on doors in the dream
Woman driving man sleeping
Reiteration of the woman driving and the man sleeping
Woman driving man sleeping
Repeats the scene of the woman driving and the man sleeping
