Hear Highway.

I KNEW I WANTED MORE
WHEN I WAS GROWIN’ UP
BUT WHAT I REALLY WANTED
SEEMED TO BE SO FAR AWAY
AND AS THE YEARS WENT ON
MY LONGING JUST GREW STRONGER
SO I PACKED MY THINGS
AND SET OUT ON THE HIGHWAY

I THUMBED MY WAY FOR MILES
TO FIND OUT WHO I AM
AND THERE WERE SOME WHO GAVE ME
MORE THAN JUST A RIDE
THEY PUSHED THEIR POINT OF VIEW MY WAY
JUST TO PROVE THEY HAD THE ANSWER
BUT THE ANSWER SEEMED MUCH FURTHER
DOWN THE HIGHWAY

SOMETHIN’
WAS CALLIN’ ME
DRAWIN’ ME
OH, SO NEAR
PULLIN’ ME
LEADIN’
RIGHT DOWN THE HIGHWAY

BAD TIMES
NOBODY’S TRYIN’
TOO MANY SOULS ARE CRYIN’
SUCH A FRIGID WORLD

I’M LOOKIN’ FOR SOMEONE
WHO WILL REALLY CARE
SOMEONE I CAN COUNT ON
ONE WHO’S ALWAYS THERE
A SOMEBODY
WHO WILL UNDERSTAND
THAT LIFE MEANS NOTHIN’
UNLESS YOU SHARE IT

HARD TIMES
EVERYBODY’S CRAZY
THEY’RE GETTIN’ HIGH AND LAZY
NO ONE GIVES A DAMN

I’M TIRED OF DEALIN’
WITH ONE NIGHT STANDS
FAST TALKIN’ COME-ONS
AND GRABBIN’ HANDS
I NEED TO BE HELD
AND TO KNOW THAT IT’S REAL
AND NOT BE AFRAID
THAT BY MORNIN’
MY DREAMS AND MY MAN
HAVE LEFT ME

SO ...
HERE I AM A TRAV’LER
ON A WINDIN’ ROAD
THAT WEAVES ITSELF WITHIN ME
TO A PLACE
THAT’S STILL UNKNOWN
I REALIZE NOW
THE ANSWER’S ALWAYS
BEEN SOMEWHERE
DEEP DOWN INSIDE ME
AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIND IT
S’ON THAT HIGHWAY

SOMETHIN’
IS CALLIN’ ME
DRAWIN’ ME
OH, SO NEAR
PULLIN’ ME
LEADIN’ ME
RIGHT DOWN THE HIGHWAY
