I am mighty tired, I have come a long way My visions getting weaker, but I don't believe I'll stay My body feels so dirty, I've been driving night and day I stare at the horizon, tomorrow, I'll be far away Riding on this endless highway The sun's sinking low, going down behind my back I'm running away and never going back I left my girl, I left my home Since that sad day, I've been wandering alone On and on and on, I roam A weary traveler on an old highway Going many a mile to where I can't say On a long lost journey down this lonesome road When dark falls around me, I'll ride into the unknown Tonight I feel the highway in my bones Forever young, forever free Roaming around as far as the eye can see I follow that white line and watch the towns go by I can free my body, but I can't free my troubled mind From thinking about the girl I left behind
