Stay Awake

Flipping through each radio station
One hundred miles more left to go
Reaching you is my destination
Late through the night as my headlights show

The winds across the Colorado plains are flying me back home
Drifting in and out of the state I’m in. Born to roam.
Always missing what I’ve got
Always somewhere that I’m not . . . I hold the wheel to

Stay awake. I follow the lines for a steady headin’, no
Time for a break. Cause I’m headin’ home or I’m headin’ to heaven

On the road to make a living
Spreading goods for those who seek
Fifty-five cents a mile, let’s the
Yearning grow five days a week

Rolling in on empty through the door into your arms so sweet
We dream about the journey of our lives in parallel and where we meet
Always missing what we’ve got
Always somewhere that we’re not . . . I hold the wheel to

Stay awake. I follow the lines for a steady headin’, no
Time for a break. Cause I’m headin’ home or I’m headin’ to heaven

Always missing what I’ve got
Always somewhere that I’m not . . . I hold the wheel to
Stay awake. I follow the lines for a steady headin’, no
Time for a break. Cause I’m headin’ home or I’m headin’ to heaven
