Highway Nighttime Lyrics

A damp, dark summer air wafted in tonight

And it brought me back 15 years

To the gas station of '89

White River Junction seemed so clear

And looking out at that starry night

Surrounded by trucks four times my height

Life was so simple in the back of my family car

But that satellite map don't do it no justice

Wish I could go home

No amount of words could paint a picture

There's nothing, there's nothing like that

Highway nighttime

Highway nighttime

Highway nighttime

There's nothing like it, nothing like it

Nothing

Big city dreams clouded by fear

Stuck in the motions, cogs and gears

And the smog hangs over like a chandelier

Illuminates the ghosts in the mirror

And looking up at those twinkling lights

Surrounded by towers and scraped skies

Life was so simple in the back of my family car

But that satellite map don't do it no justice

Wish I could go home

No amount of words could paint a picture

There's nothing, there's nothing like that

Highway nighttime

Highway nighttime

Highway nighttime

There's nothing like it, nothing like it

Nothing

I wanna go back

I wanna go back

I wanna go back

To that highway
