lyrics

Another lonely highway and it’s 4 AM
Your coffee’s long since empty and you’re the only one awake
The dark night holds you in its cold embrace
And you feel so all alone

You’re a drifter but it’s times like these you question
The choices you have made
And it’s times like these you wonder
If this journey makes sense at all
Or if it’s just one more mistake

You paid little heed to the warnings
Followed your heart instead
You never thought it’d be easy but right now you wanna turn around
To see one familiar face
‘Cause everyone’s a stranger though every city’s the same

You’re a drifter but it’s times like these you question
The choices you have made
And it’s times like these you wonder
If this journey makes sense at all
Or if it’s just one more mistake

Pull up to the pump around 5 AM
And smile wearily at the single mother in the next car
You don’t know her story but you know that look in her eyes
She’s a drifter just like you and she’s probably made a few mistakes
And suddenly you don’t feel so tired so scared so alone

No one said life would be easy
Or that things wouldn’t be so damn unfair
Yes you could sell your soul to reach the top
But you know you’re stronger than that

You’re a drifter but you don’t have to question
The choices you have made
And you don’t have to wonder
If this journey makes sense at all
Or if it’s just one more mistake

Another lonely highway and it’s 6 AM
But the sun is coming up
