The Highway

It ain't no secret
That I've been keeping
But that don't make it feel alright
And it ain't getting better with time
I'm not leaving
But what I'm needing
Ain't just here so I gotta go
This house ain't my only home

You were the white picket
Stuck in it kind
And I'm the sun on the
Speed limit sign
I wanted the dream
And you want the same
But you wanted me
I wanted the highway

It's not that I don't love you
The way I used to
Still crazy 'bout you today
That's one thing that won't ever change
So I'm not saying
That we can't make it
But you'll get good at being patient
For all the times I'll keep you waiting

You were the white picket
Stuck in it kind
And I'm the sun on the
Speed limit sign
I wanted the dream
And you want the same
But you wanted me
I wanted the highway

I wanted the wind and
The wide open space
You wanted a mailbox
With one last name
A couple of kids
That won't let us sleep in
And I do too but I don't know when
You like the quiet of a dead end street
I live for the thrill of a driver's seat
I wanted the dream
You wanted the same
Yeah you wanted me
But I want the highway
