lyrics

Driving down a lonely highway
Headin’ west towards the dying day
Vivid red fading into blue
Always different, and always the same

And I drive along the road
But I’m still many miles from home

Moving on through the valley
I haven’t seen for a long, long time
I think about my life’s direction
These memories that are mine

And I drive along the road
To the place where I can shed my load
But I’m still many miles from home

Breathing in the smell of sundown
Each moment makes me smile
Windows down, take it all in
It’s coming back with every mile

I drive along the road
I’m just a few miles from home

I’m just a few miles from home
To the place where I belong
