Highway Prayer

For those who the road is all that matters
For them who have lived on borrowed time
For those whose seeds in life are scattered
For them that are too far down the line

For those who have lived on next to nothing
Playing in a bar in jacksonville
With nothing but the songs that they are singing
With nothing but the spaces left to fill

Here's a highway prayer
Here's a highway song
Don't stay too late
Don't cry too long

You're coming home, home again
Gonna tell 'em all where you been

I used to think the road was all that mattered
I used to like to live on borrowed time
I used to like to live on next to nothing
But I'm still out here living line to line

Living in some old torch singer's memory
Out here on the road to tennessee
A place where all our songs and dreams go sailing
And I'll say one for you, you sing one for me

Here's a highway prayer
Here's a highway song
Don't stay too late
Don't cry too long

You're coming home, home again
