Prisoner Of The Highway

I grew where I was planted But I never felt at home My head was filled with questions And my feet, they long to roam My arms reached out like branches But my heart just couldn't stay I left the moment that I could A prisoner of the highway I passed by farms and trailers As I drove through little towns I found trouble in the city I never set my suitcase down And in those empty alleys Where retaining walls decay I just kept a-moving As a prisoner of the highway Ooh, and I don't know where I'm headed Ooh, and I don't know where it ends Well, the wind, it felt like freedom As it whipped through my hair I was everywhere and everyone I was nobody and nowhere Oh, the map was written on my hand And in my DNA I believe that I was meant to be A prisoner of the highway Had chains around my ankles Handcuffs on my wrists I was haunted by decisions And simple things I missed Dear God, why do I wander? Was I born this way? And I prayed He would release me As a prisoner of the highway Ooh, and I don't know where I'm headed Ooh, and I don't know where it ends I sacrificed my family Sacrificed true love I sacrificed my unborn child To the heavens up above Oh, there was not a limit To those I would betray Oh, I was deep down in it As a prisoner of the highway I just kept a-moving As a prisoner of the highway (Highway, ooh)
