Track Insight / Lyrics
Moonlight casts long shadows on the ground
Misted overpass, secrets unbound
I'm tracking down leads in the dark of the night
Turning over stones, hoping for a lead to light
Last highway, last light, I'm running out of time
Chasing the truth, but it's hard to redefine
The lines I'm crossing, the signs I ignore
Racing the clock, but I can't open the door
Fog rolling in, hiding what's left to find
I've got my tools, but time is unkind
Each day that passes, the trail starts to fade
I'm running blind, but I won't be misled
Last highway, last call, I'm out of second chances
Got one shot left, and I'm taking my changes
I've walked this road, seen the highs and the lows
But I won't stop now, gotta see this through
The rain picks up, drumming on my coat
Reflections blur in the wet pavement's note
I've been chasing ghosts, but maybe I'll find
The answers I seek, the truth left behind
Last highway, last shot, I'll take the advice I'm given
Follow my heart, let the spirit be driven
I'll turn away from the darkness, step into the light
And hope that my journey's been worth the lonely fight
( Leslie organ hums, guitar chops in syncopated rhythm )
( Acoustic drums whisper, foghorn blow )
(Muted guitar riffs skank to an off-beat rhythm )
(Pan across a spatial stereo delay )
Last highway, last hope, there's still a chance for me
To find my way out, break free from destiny
I'll keep on moving, one step at a time
Till the truth I'm seeking crosses my path, and I find
(Horn section fades, drums slow to a crawl )
(Guitar echoes subside, Leslie organ's last hum )
( Rain cease, neon lights twinkle, highway stretches on )
( Fade to silence )
