The Highway Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Ice has formed between the wheels and the asphalt Ice has formed between my skin and bones Ice is warmin' to the sweet-at-last thought Of taking the highway home [Chorus] Taking the highway home Taking the highway home In the wake of the ice and snow, I am Taking the highway [Verse 2] This old road can be cold and mean Halos of vultures and roadkill dreams Startling darkness on a windy ridge Rocking my heart like an empty rig I am [Chorus] Taking the highway home Taking the highway home In the wake of the ice and snow, I am Taking the highway [Verse 3] You see your sweet country roads You keep 'em; they're way too slow I don't need no scenery There's only one scene I see [Chorus] She's why I'm taking the highway home Taking the highway home In the wake of the ice and snow, I am Taking the highway [Chorus] Taking the highway home Taking the highway home Her sunny day gonna melt me away, and I'll be Taking the highway home
