Well, I am driving down the highway
One slip and I′m a cross beside the road
Still I'm steering my Toyota like a
In a movie while the space station
And it is windy, but I′m warm
And it is raining, there's a storm up
But back behind my windshield, I feel
Like I'm looking down from heaven
Well, when you're driving down the
You can′t help but turn to matters of
So I think of all my loves that flew away
On wings of things I couldn't say
Back when I had the chance
Or when I still lived with my family
I went out, I had a date, I held her hand
She asked me if I lived at home, I said,
"I′m not homeless", she said, "That's
Not what I mean", and I said I didn′t
Well, I am driving down the highway
There ain't no shadow that can catch me
I used to feel like the whole skyline of
Was built off of my mistakes
So while I′m lost somewhere in limbo,
Watching water wash the window, I
And of my mother, yes I′ll miss her, but
Sometimes it feels good to feel alone
I hear it's gorgeous in the mountains
But the view′s always the same
So I'll just hold my old gas pedal down
Because no hometown headstone is
No hometown headstone will ever bear
