Lyrics

HWY.
Lyrics and Music by Dave Wright

On the road again, she was always on the road,
Caught between her heart and her home.
It was a long, a long dark ride,
That separated her lights from mine.

I know, I didn’t want her to go,
She knew, I missed her so,
But I swear I didn’t know she was trying to get back home.

And now I blame myself for the broken glass,
The burning car, the guilt that will always last,
And the same sad song spinning ‘round.
I see her on the road that night,
Driving so fast just to get back on time,
With those sad, tired eyes shutting down,
Falling,
Like ashes to the ground.

God knows, I got tired,
Of chasing life down a satellite.
I know, I tried,
To get her to pull over and stop for the night.

I know, I didn’t want her to go,
She knew, I missed her so,
But I swear I didn’t know she was trying to get back home.

And now I blame myself for the broken glass,
The burning car, the guilt that will always last,
And the same sad song spinning ‘round.
I see her on the road that night,
Driving so fast just to get back on time,
With those sad, tired eyes shutting down,
Falling,
Like ashes to the ground.

The hwy, the hwy,
All I do is drive all night,
The only place she’s alive.

And now I blame myself for the broken glass,
The burning car, the guilt that will always last,
And the same sad song spinning ‘round.
I see her on the road that night,
Driving so fast just to get back on time,
With those sad, tired eyes shutting down,
Falling,
Like ashes to the ground.

The hwy, the hwy,
All I do is drive all night,
The only place she’s alive.
