Lyrics:
THE LAST EXIT NORTH
--------------------------------------------------------------

Engine running
Border forty miles ahead
Freedom twenty years behind

The highway stretched through rusted farmland
Past silent towns and faded signs
The radio kept selling certainty
Like certainty was still alive
Behind me came the flashing beacons
Red and blue against the sky
The law was close
The border closer
And I was running out of time

They called me a heretic
Not because I lied
But because I asked
Why

The last exit north
The last road free
One old car
One stubborn dream
The sirens say
I’m dangerous
Because I refuse
To agree

I remember when opinions mattered
When arguments were still allowed
Before conformity became a virtue
And silence became something to be proud of
The screens kept glowing
The votes kept coming
The promises were sweet and small
Nobody noticed freedom leaving
Until freedom wasn’t there at all

Nobody burned the books
They simply stopped printing them

The last exit north
The last road free
One tired engine
One memory
The sirens say
I’m dangerous
Because I still believe

Funny thing about prisons
The best ones don’t need walls
People build them willingly
And decorate the halls

The border signs appeared before me
Like ghosts emerging through the rain
For one brief second
I could almost feel
The weight falling away
Then the road closed
The lights surrounded
Steel and orders filled the night
And every dream I’d carried with me
Vanished in the flashing white

Name?
Occupation?
Political affiliation?
Reason for departure?
Reason for thought?

[final chorus]
The last exit north
Now far behind
One old road
One state of mind
You can stop a car
You can stop a man
But good luck stopping
An idea

The engine died
The sirens stayed
The border waited
Just beyond reach
And somewhere north
The wind still carried
A word they’d spent years trying to erase
Freedom.
