Highway Song
I've been driving on this highway for a while
Another hundred miles doesn't matter much to me
There's nothing left here but the sunset to my right
But I won't sleep tonight, no I'll just dream
I can't remember what it's like to be back home
Here out on my own's a losing game
Without my mother, my father or my brother
My sister, well I've missed her just the same
Where I'm living now
No one knows my name
Mama I'm lost, Mama I'm scared
Now that I'm free I'm going nowhere
Some things I will never understand
Gimme a reason, send me a sign
That all this dreamin' ain't a waste of time
Cuz nothing's going quite like I planned
Guess I'm learning what it means to be a man
I've been driving on this highway for too long
Maybe I was wrong but it's too late for turning back
A different chapter with the same old story line
I nearly lose my mind every time
See, I barely even started
I'm already heavy-hearted
Mama I'm lost, Mama I'm scared
Now that I'm free I'm going nowhere
Some things I will never understand
Gimme a reason, send me a sign
That all this dreamin' ain't a waste of time
Cuz nothing's going quite like I planned
Guess I'm learning what it means to be a man
But one day I will find my way
Long as the sun keeps rising tomorrow
And yesterday will fade away
Soon as I learn to shake off my shadow
But right now it just won't let me go
Mama I'm lost, Mama I'm scared
Now that I'm free I'm going nowhere
Some things I will never understand
Gimme a reason, send me a sign
That all this dreamin' ain't a waste of time
Cuz nothing's going quite like I planned
Mama I'm scared, Mama I'm lost
Now that I'm free I'm paying the cost
With nothing here to hold by own hand
Gimme my reason, gimme my rhyme
Was all that dreamin' a waste of my time?
'Cause nothing's going quite like I had planned
I guess I'm ready as I'll never be to find out what it means to be a man
