Lyrics

“The Highway”
Capers Simmons

VERSE I
I’m on the Arizona interstate coming out of Santa Fe
I could make it into Monterrey tomorrow night
I’ll fill the tank with 85 and turn on the overdrive
And I’ll disappear into the night

Colorado backroads covered in the ice and snow
Oklahoma cornfields sway
The radio won’t tell you so, but these white lines are a cage
And I can’t break away; but I don’t want to stay

CHORUS I
(I’m on a highway)
The highway is my prison, it’s holding in my heart
(I’m losing my way)
Some may say it’s freedom, but my sorrow says it’s not
(Living the fast lane)
The fast lane is the warden, and these road signs are the guards
And I just can’t escape – I’m everywhere you’re not

VERSE II
Driving into Dallas in the middle of a Friday night
Heading out of Houston to the Louisiana line
I roll on into Baton Rouge – I feel like cutting loose
But I can’t drown the heartaches in the wine

I know where you are is where I ought to be
But I just can’t break these chains that bind
I blame the highway, but I know the fault’s my own
This road is not my home; it ain’t living if you’re living alone

~ CHORUS 1 ~ CHORUS Ia ~

CHORUS II
(I’m on a highway)
This solitary confinement is just too much to bear
(I wanna fly away)
I wish that I could go back home and find you waiting there
(Get me outta the fast lane)
But the fast lane feels like steel chains, and my speed don’t mean a damn
I know I’m going nowhere, if you’re not where I am
Yeah, anywhere is nowhere, if you’re not where I am
