Track Insight / Lyrics
The highway cuts like a silver line
Through mesas striped in desert time
An eastern horizon, vacant and wide
Where day and night are a pilgrim's guide
I walk the median, heart like a drum
Beating in time with the highway's thrum
Concrete canyon and howl of the drive
Keep me company, as I start to survive
Gravel crunches beneath my worn-out shoes
The heat builds, sweat trickles like the news
From each unseen face passed on the ride
Each traveler locked in their private hide
I walk the median, heart like a drum
Beating in time with the highway's thrum
Concrete canyon and howl of the drive
Keep me company, as I start to thrive
The tar stretches on, a dark ribbon's length
Under the lonely desert's yawn of strength
Traffic whizzes by, but I stand my ground
Against the vortex, where the anonymous abound
The setting sun, a fiery smoldering ember
Ahead, the highway's infinite, busier
Picking up steam, a magnetic pull
But the highway's endless, and I'm here, so I'll
Walk the median, heart like a drum
In time with the highway's thrum
Concrete canyon and howl of the drive
Companions to my spirit, as I start to live
Footsteps echo, a solitary beat
Carrying me onward, through the desert heat
To where the highway's call, and I disappear
Into the unknown, where the desert journey's clear
