On the Highway Songtext
von Trampled by Turtles

Outer reaches come and go, and I′m forever grateful
Come and tell me long and slow exactly what I'll wait for
Better times, yeah, better times, somehow, I don′t believe it
I built a house up long ago just to up and leave it

There's a bright light in the cold dark night so bloom where you're planted
Still, I pray to the summer rain and every heart that′s slanted
Borderlines and severed ties and the crickets in the meadow
Form a line and say goodbye to such a lucky fellow


Out on the highway like a portrait in the rain
Out on the highway, we′ll never be the same again

Whittled like a mousetrap queen of the sky, oh tell me I'm forgiven
Simulated pilgrims, why, oh why won′t they take me with them?
Sell me something bright and shinier than I can imagine
Parting ways, those summer days, so happy to have had them

Out on the highway, there's a storm out in the west
Out on the highway, oh God, I′m such a mess once again
Out on the highway, it all comes crashing down
Out on the highway, yeah, where would we be now?
I don't know
