Looking down that highway
Far as I can see
Where I lived

So much of me
It's gone, gone, gone
It's how it has to be

Went in the ditch
Going 9 to 5
I can't believe that I

I walked away alive
I was going too fast
In the break-down lane

I may be walking
I may be walking
I get there just the same**

The woman I love
She never let me down
Never said that my dream

Could not be found
I had to burn
Before I could learn

She let me go
She let me go
She let me return

This is the place where
I was meant to be
Movin' on with you

Next to me
And when that highway
Comes to a tame me

Either way
It's a mystery
Walking down that highway

Far as I can see
Where I lived
So much of me

It's gone, gone, gone
It's how it has to be
