    The ghost of a traveling salesman narrates -- forever driving the same stretch of highway, haunted by his sense of loss and regret.

    Story Behind the Song
    "I had driven a zillion miles on this stretch of highway, IH35, and used it in a lyric. I was playing around and singing it over and over when Shelly told me she felt I was singing about a dead person ... a ghost locked in a pattern. The rest came easy."

    Lyrics

    Interstate

    On I-35 just outside the city of St. Paul
    I lost my life, between the bar signs and the headlights
    And oh my god honey, I'm lyin in that black dirty snow
    From Duluth to the streets of Loredo
    back again until I reach Minnesota
    I'll drive this Interstate until its my friend
    Twenty thousand times again and again
    I wanna know its every crood every bend
    This never ends
    One two buckle my shoe, dreaming until death do us part
    Payphone promises broken, babe we'll hit the big time next year
    Now I'm so cold honey, there is nothing that can dull the pain,
    that tears my silent heart
    From Duluth to the streets of Loredo
    back again until I reach Minnesota
    chorus
