Highway (feat. Jesse Whitley)

The truth behind a fake smile

Lonely man in this crowded room

Another shot to heal the battle wounds

The crowd is waiting for his battle cry

He won the war so his banner flies

Gucci shades hide his saddened eyes

Cheeks wet so he pat 'em dry

His ships sinking, they paddle by

The money he makes don’t make him satisfied

Sick and tired so homesick

Told him chase the dream at his own risk

He Didn’t listen

Now he’s missin'

All his children gettin grown quick

Facetimes the only face time

Pay barely covering the baseline

Feeling more at home across state lines

When’s the big break they said it takes time

Running outta luck and he’s running late

Can’t brake there’s too much at stake

Moving fast in the fast lane

But he speeds up to get past the pain

Another toast as the glasses bangs

Tequilas fillin' up his gas tank

Same song different city

On a broken road that his soul paved

I’ve been here on my own

Lost and lonely on the road

Singing songs with the pain

Through a smile that’s hard to hold

This damn highway never ends

‘Cause the miles, they take their toll

I’ve been here for way too long

Just trying to make it home

Thousand miles and he still runnin'

Amarillo by tomorrow morning

Drank himself to sleep in Albuquerque

'Cause his heart is broken and his souls is thirsty

Got a phone call last week in Phoenix

That his brother's shot, hit the deepest

Drinking heavy wash away regret

When the reaper come you gotta pay that debt

And he ain’t ready yet, another song to sing

Thunderstorms always wash him clean

When the bus rolls then the night is over

In an empty bed there's no crying shoulder

All alone he gotta face his fears

Through the empty bottle he can see it clear

Success is near he can feel it close

But his dreams are haunted by Talia’s ghost

He’s asking why to a clouded sky

With some clouded eyes with no answer back

I asked a question, better answer that

I fought the devil, God, where You at?

I’m a man of faith in a wicked place

Try to make it straight through these crooked ways

Seen a light then he looked away

Fell into the dark and then he sang

I’ve been here on my own

Lost and lonely on the road

Singing songs with the pain

Through a smile that’s hard to hold

This damn highway never ends

‘Cause the miles, they take their toll

I’ve been here for way too long

Just tryin' to make it home

I’ve been here on my own

Lost and lonely on the road

Singing songs with the pain

Through a smile that’s hard to hold

This damn highway never ends

‘Cause the miles, they take their toll

I’ve been here for way too long

Just tryin' to make it home
