| I’m driving a big lazy car rushin' up the highway in the dark
|
| I got one hand steady on the wheel and one hand’s tremblin' over my heart
|
| It’s pounding baby like it’s gonna bust right on through
|
| And it ain’t gonna stop till I’m alone again with you
|
| A friend of mine became a father last night
|
| When we spoke in his voice I could hear the light
|
| Of the skies and the rivers the timberwolf in the pines
|
| And that great jukebox out on Route 39
|
| They say he travels fastest who travels alone
|
| But tonight I miss my baby tonight I miss my home
|
| Is it the sound of the leaves
|
| Left blown by the wayside
|
| That’s got me out here on this spooky old highway tonight
|
| Is it the cry of the river
|
| With the moonlight shining through
|
| That ain’t what scares me baby
|
| What scares me is losing you
|
| They say if you die in your dreams you really die in your bed
|
| But honey last night I dreamed my eyes rolled straight back in my head
|
| And God’s light came shinin' on through
|
| I woke up scared and breathin' and born anew
|
| It wasn’t the cold river bottom I felt rushing over me
|
| It wasn’t the bitterness of a dream that didn’t come true
|
| It wasn’t the wind in the grey fields I felt moving through my arms
|
| No no baby, baby it was you
|
| No no baby, baby it was you
|
| Baby it was you
|
| Baby it was you |
