Lost Highway

In my rearview mirror

My life is getting clearer

The sunset sighs and slowly disappears

These trinkets once were treasure

Life changes like the weather

You grow up, grow old or hit the road 'round here

So I drive, watching white lines passing by

With my plastic dashboard Jesus, waiting there to greet us

Hey, hey, I finally found my way

Say goodbye to yesterday

Hit the gas there ain't no brakes on the lost highway

Yeah I'm busting loose, I'm letting go

Out on this open road

It's independence day on this lost highway

I don't know where I'm going

But I know where I've been

Now I'm afraid of going back again

So I drive, years and miles are flying by

And waiting there to great us

Is my plastic dashboard Jesus

Oh patron saint of lonely souls

To tell this boy which way to go

Guide the car, you got the keys

Farewell to mediocrity

Kicking off the cruise-control

And turning up the radio

Got just enough religion

And a half tank of gas come on, let's go

I finally found my way

Say goodbye to yesterday

Hit the gas there ain't no brakes on the lost highway

Yeah I'm busting loose, I'm letting go

Out on this open road

It's independence day on this lost highway
