The Highway Life

Here I am sitting in the driver's seat riding upon the road
Looking out at the endless times, the days without a home
The trail is long but the stars will lead me back to where the lights are shining bright
For on these days on the road I met my maker, he's shown me the light. And

The highway life has taken us to where the roads roll endlessly
It's where the lights are mine but the sun don't shine
And the glare comes back at me

The days are long but the nights are empty
'Cept for the whir of the breeze at my window
The land is vast but there's no one there
It's though I'm living my life in limbo
My music is playing as my mind starts straying
And the road just rambles on
I see the birds flying over my head
But soon they'll all be gone. And

The highway life has taken us to where the roads roll endlessly
It's where the lights are mine but the sun don't shine
And the glare comes back at me

I remember those nights a long time ago when my daddy said to me
"It's getting late, you need your rest, it's time to go to sleep"
I'd lay in bed looking up at the stars dreaming of times like this
But now that I'm here I realize that it's those old days that I miss. And

The highway life has taken us to where the roads roll endlessly
It's where the lights are mine but the sun don't shine
And the glare comes back at me
