Oh Lady of the Highway, Mother of the Road
I signed on your white line to watch the miles unfold
And every passing home front, glittering at night
Calls out to warn me tonight, daylights in sight
Just around the corner, at the journeys end
Many miles between us, stacking up again
When you see my headlights, in the dawning sky
Promise me tomorrow will come and Ill go on
Once we were fearless, once we were young
Nothing could stop us, we were that strong
Wisdom will hurt you, dress you in pain
My Lady before me, please find me again
Oh Lady of the Highway in a tattered dress
Yesterdays reminders dug lines in your face
But everyone who sees you becomes a child again
We go on together, old friend, we meet again
