Verse 1
Miles and miles of highway, going my own way.
The miles are getting longer with every passing day.
But I know that out there somewhere is the road that leads me home.
But I know tonight, that it's not the road I'm on.
Chorus
Why does it always have to be the highway and me?
Every star at night in the bright headlights, you're all I see.
Every mile seems to take me away from where I know that I should be;
Just the highway and me.
Verse 2
I feel closer to this highway than I do to anyone.
It don't care if I go my way.
It's still willing to come.
But it won't talk to me.
It won't look at me.
It just sends me on my way.
But I know right now, it's the best friend I got today.
Chorus
Why does it always have to be the highway and me?
Every star at night in the bright headlights, you're all I see.
Every mile seems to take me away from where I know that I should be;
Just the highway and me.
Bridge
And the road and the miles and the lonely mind;
(The Highway and Me)
And I drive and I drive and loneliness, and emptiness, is all I ever find.
Chorus
Oh ...
