"Scared Of Highways" Lyrics

The Kansas sun, behind I left everyone
There was no getting over, no place to hide
With a future as open wide
As the shirt on Travolta in 'Staying Alive'

I'm scared of highways
(Time has passed me by)
I feel like I could wander all my life
So suddenly seemed my future was next to me

How'd I get so far behind
On a Texas highway in the night
If I could, if I might
First car I see tonight
Wake me when it's over

I'm scared of highways
I feel, like I could wander and never find
Maybe I won't fail if I never try
Prisoner on this island

Boots over my shoulder, I've begun to think
Wisdom will come to me now when I get older
But with the world no longer at my feet
Somehow or other the time has passed me by

I'm scared of highways
And I feel, like I, I could wander all this time
Drove through the day and I drove through the night
I've been running out, I've been running

From what I might become
I lost the promise there
Come on back to me now
I'm scared of highways

(Time has passed me by)
I feel as if I could wander and never find
I need something to wake me up
