Highway 75

When I was a kid, I used to sit on my daddy's knee
I could hardly see over the dashboard
Of the beat-up truck that we used to drive
And now I'm older, a little bit colder
And my parents are home with the caravan
But the dog's asleep and they're all alone

My brother and sister are livin' like runaways And I'm countin' the days till they're gone
And I'm countin' the days till they're here again
Comin' and goin' like old friends
And my daydreams keep comin' back to me Like memories of enemies
They plant the seed and then burn the tree

With all of our intentions realized
They cut it down and then make it twice the size

Highway 75, my dream's alive, yeah
In my mind and out down the road
Highway 75, my dream's alive, yeah
Forgettin' all I'm supposed to know

I'm ready to go scrape the snow from my window
And I already know that I'm feelin' well
But I'm tired as hell and I'm sure it shows
And if I tried to ride to the other side
Would it leave you feelin' dignified
Or teary-eyed and dissatisfied

So alone you are when you're far from home
But anybody could tell you that
Isn't really where it's at
And the memories of the trees and the fallen leaves
They'll always set my mind at ease
Holdin' me in my reverie

And a road less traveled is forever unraveled again
The middle of the beginning is the end

Highway 75, my dream's alive, yeah
In my mind and out down the road
Highway 75, my dream's alive, yeah
Forgettin' all I'm supposed to know

When I was a kid, I used to sit on my daddy's knee
I could hardly see up in front of me
Down the road, how it would be
