Highways stretch beneath the stars
The miles roll on, year after year
Memories fade like passing cars
I'm far from home, still lost in fear
This road has paved my way with scars
The lights are fading, and the dream's grown thin
I'm out of luck, and I'm out of spin
The stars lost shine, and the road's turned rough
I thought I had more, but enough's enough
Chicago's lights are just ahead
But Susan's voice won't let me be
She calls me home, a life I've shed
The road won't set my spirit free
Just another city and another empty bed
The lights are fading, and the dream's grown thin
I'm out of luck, and I'm out of spin
The stars lost shine, and the road's turned rough
I thought I had more, but enough's enough
The skyline fades, but I see the truth
I've traded my dreams, wasted my youth
Susan's waiting, the kids have grown
Maybe it's time to claim back my own
This road leads me back to my roots
The lights are fading, and the dream's grown cold
I'm out of gas, and I'm feeling old
The stars lost shine, and the road's turned rough
I thought I had more, but enough's enough
I hit the brakes, let the silence catch up
Time to turn back, before it's all gone
The lights are fading, and the dream's grown cold
I'm out of gas, and I'm feeling old
The stars lost shine, and the road's turned rough
I thought I had more, but enough's enough
