Track Insight / Lyrics
Arizona asphalt stretches out a call
Under neon skies that pulse and fall
I'm a passenger, lost in the ride
Thoughts escape like smoke on a desert side
Freedom's just a gas tank away
In the rearview shadows playing out the day
With every mile, the world recedes
Until it's just the road and my heartbeat
Oh highway reckoning, fading lights
A solitary figure in the endless night
Where dreams and-driving merge in a blur
And the open road's my distant mirror
A taxicab's lullaby, bass-line hum
The driver's eyes on the horizon, ahead he's combing
Forgotten summers flare in my mind
Seasons blend like the taillights we left behind
Freedom's just a gas tank away
In the rearview shadows playing out the day
With every mile, the world recedes
Until it's just the road and my heartbeat
Oh highway reckoning, fading lights
A solitary figure in the endless night
Where dreams and driving merge in a blur
And the open road's my distant mirror
The desert wind, it lulls me in
To a place where time and space align
In the stillness, a story's spun
Of all that's driven, of lives undone
Oh highway reckoning, fading lights
A solitary figure in the endless night
Where dreams and driving merge in a blur
And the open road's my distant mirror
Under stars that spangle the black as an old vinyl record
The miles unravel, and with them, I recount
The journey's something I must keep within my head
As the highway's temptations lead me onward instead
