The Highway Lyrics - Singles - Used Cars

(N. Bottini) 

Drivin' on a road it was late in the night 

The rear view mirror showed me nothing but darkness 

Upon the things I've left behind 

Then I saw her hitchin' for a ride and 

I let her climb into my life 

And when the sun begun to shine 

Starin' at the flowin' white line 

She said: "Baby, the highway's still long" 

The highway shines in the light of the new morning sun 

Snakin' through things that come from afar 

They look so old when they pass me by 

So many things being lost or gained 

Through crossroads, hills and not warned turns 

Will make nothin' being the same 

As it looked from far away 

CHORUS: 

The highway's still long 

Yeah, the highway's still long 

The eye's on the line, the hand on the wheel is strong 

The highway's still long 

Some men they pray for livin' 

Some men they pray for dyin' 

But that ain't me 

I'm gonna roll on down the line, 'cause baby 

CHORUS 

On the road again alone 

With some memories and the fear 

That I won't find something that's better to long for 

I guess I'm just this kind of guy 

I stop sometimes but just for a while 

And then I start to ride again 

Til this blacktop river will show its end 

Meet me on the highway
