Song Description

The perfect road trip song, "Highway" is an up-tempo singalong that begins with acoustic guitar and vocals and builds quickly to include a full band. It captures the freedom and frustration of life on the road, away from your friends and lover.

Lyrics

thinkin' "how many miles must i go before you're gone?"
The sun is escaping me, but you're just keeping pace
even though i'm at least a thousand miles from our place.
I look at all the sights, things i've never seen before

and all i can think is "how many days more?"
A beautiful lake, i'm inspired by the view
but all i wanna do is describe it to you.
And i thought, if i got away

i might realize i was trapped
but now the only place i wanna go is back.
And the miles aren't getting any shorter

there's still 24 hours in a day
and you're not getting any closer
and i'm just counting down the miles
on this long highway

I spent years making plans to leave
only to find a hundred other people just like me
and we're all standing 'round, thinking we should go home
need a little more vacation from our little time alone.

I swear i wasn't like this, i could go away for weeks
i could leave everything behind, never call, never blink
but i'm missing you now, and i think that's okay
what's happened to me?

I wanted to escape
wanted to get you out of my head
but here i am making room for your absence in my bed.

They say to gather rosebuds while you may
and i've picked enough for a hundred bouquets
but time's not slowing down, and i don't want it to slow down
if you're not gonna be around me
