From the recording Audience of One
Lyrics
I've been driving down this highway such a long, long time.
Looking for a way of life I might call mine.
There's a sorrow, in every place that I go. Don't ya know?
The faces change from town to town along with the names.
In every other way my life remains unchanged.
There's this searching way down deep in my soul.
I've been searching for the promise land,
A place to call my home and share my hand
But for now this car glides
With the headlight beam down low.
On the road.
Can't fight this gypsy feeling
Since the mill closed down.
Ain't nothing left to do back there
But hang around
The say "Move on now Jack!"
There's work out west. Off I go.
Five stops back behind me now try as I might,
Wandering through the darkness
And curse the night.
Always Searching where angels dare not to go.
I've been searching for the promise land
I fill my life with empty one night stands
I've looked for love in places
The virtue dare not go. On the road
Sometimes I feel like I might snap
And break in two.
Don't know but other folks
Might feel the same way too.
So uncertain, loosely based, tightly wound.
I'm still searching for the promise land
Where I might settle down and make my stand
But for now this car glides
With the headlight beam down low
On the road, lost on the road.
