HIGHWAY

HIGHWAY

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON 

2019

WE ROLLED UP ON THE GOOD TIMES

WE KEPT ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT

WE STOOD ATOP A MOUNTAIN

WITH THE MOON SHINING BRIGHT

WE SAT BY THE FIRE

A DRINK IN OUR HANDS

TALKING AND LAUGHING

MAKING ALL KINDS OF PLANS

WHERE WAS I

AS THE YEARS FLEW BY

AS THE DARKENED SKY

TURNED TO RAIN

TURNED THE PAGE

TO SOMETHING SAGE

ALL BUT GONE, IT ALL CHANGED

WHAT I THOUGHT WAS FREEDOM

WAS LOST IN THE IRONY

THE BELLS TOLLED AWAY

BUT I DIDN'T HEAR

I WAS SOMEWHERE FARAWAY 

NOT EVEN NEAR

WHEN HOME DON'T FEEL

 LIKE HOME NO MORE 

ITS TIME TO GO MOVE ON

I TOOK MY HOPES

I TOOK MY DREAMS

OUT ON THE ROAD

NOTHING BUT MEMORIES

FONDLY THAT I HOLD

NO ONE OR NOTHING

TO HOLD ME DOWN

TRAVELING LIGHT

TRAVELING POOR

THAT WINTER SURE WAS COLD

I FELT THE NORTH WINDS BLOW

JUST ANOTHER LONELY SOUL

I STOOD IN THE SNOW

MY THUMB HELD HIGH

NO ONE THERE TO SAY GOODBYE

NO MATTER, THE WORLD IS WAITING

TAKE ME DOWN THE HIGHWAY

SLIPPING FARTHER WEST

MINUS SIXTY IN WINNIPEG

I BARELY GOT AWAY

ROLLING ACROSS THE PRAIRIES

 JUST ANOTHER SOUL

I HAD TO KEEP ON GOING

A RENDEZVOUS WITH CHINOOK SKIES 

WHERE I COULD HEAR THE EAGLES CRY

I STAYED AND MADE MY HOME

UNTIL THAT HIGHWAY

 CALLS MY NAME AGAIN

 I'LL STAY RIGHT HERE

IN THE SUN
