Lost Highway
n my rearview mirrorMy life is getting clearerThe sunset sighs and slowly disappearsThese trinkets once were treasureLife changes like the weatherYou grow up, grow old or hit the road 'round hereSo I drive, watching white lines passing byWith my plastic dashboard Jesus, waiting there to greet us
Hey, hey, I finally found my waySay goodbye to yesterdayHit the gas there ain't no brakes on the lost highwayYeah I'm busting loose, I'm letting goOut on this open roadIt's independence day on this lost highway
I don't know where I'm goingBut I know where I've beenNow I'm afraid of going back againSo I drive, years and miles are flying byAnd waiting there to great usIs my plastic dashboard Jesus
Oh patron saint of lonely soulsTo tell this boy which way to goGuide the car, you got the keysFarewell to mediocrityKicking off the cruise-controlAnd turning up the radioGot just enough religionAnd a half tank of gas come on, let's go
I finally found my waySay goodbye to yesterdayHit the gas there ain't no brakes on the lost highwayYeah I'm busting loose, I'm letting goOut on this open roadIt's independence day on this lost highway
