HIGHWAY BLUES

It keeps getting a hold of me
Highway blues smells of gasoline
You’re like a dream but I wake up sedate still longing

So I keep chasing the midnight sun
Keep a safe distance from everyone
I’ll probably wake up feeling foolish
Sleepless lonely for your touch
But I just can’t give that much

But if you don’t move darlin where you gonna
You won’t feel new if you don’t have time to grow
Do I see in the same way as I did before
Guess I need more

I could wander on your back your way
(Or) I could make all the same mistakes cause you feel steady babe I know I am the one who is unsteady

I could keep my love to myself
Cause sometimes when you give it to someone else
Oh it comes right back to bite you then you’re laying on the kitchen floor

(But) if you don’t move darlin where you gonna
You won’t feel new if you don’t have time to grow
Do I see in the same way as I did before
Guess I need more

It keeps getting a hold of me
Highway blues smells of gasoline
You’re like a dream but I wake up sedate still longing
