Oh Lady of the Highway, Mother of the Road
        I signed on your white line to watch the miles unfold
        And every passing home front, glittering at night
        Calls out to warn me tonight, daylights in sight
        Just around the corner, at the journeys end
        Many miles between us, stacking up again
        When you see my headlights, in the dawning sky
        Promise me tomorrow will come and Ill go on
        Once we were fearless, once we were young
        Nothing could stop us, we were that strong
        Wisdom will hurt you, dress you in pain
        My Lady before me, please find me again
        Oh Lady of the Highway in a tattered dress
        Yesterdays reminders dug lines in your face
        But everyone who sees you becomes a child again
        We go on together, old friend, we meet again
