The Highway Home

Ice is forming between the wheels and the asphalt
Ice is forming between my skin and bones
Ice is warming to the sweet 'at last' thought
Of taking the highway home
Taking the highway home
Taking the highway home
In the wake of the ice and snow I am
Taking the highway

This old road can be cold and mean
Halos of vultures and road kill dreams
Startling darkness on a windy ridge
Rockin' my heart like an empty rig

I am taking the highway home
Taking the highway home
In the wake of the ice and snow I am
Taking the highway

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

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

Taking the highway home
Taking the highway home
Her sunny day gonna melt me away and I'll be
Taking the highway home
