Lyrics

Well, I might as well be sitting in the middle of nowhere
The cars on the highway won't look my way
They fly by, paralysed am I in the headlight glare
Blinding light as the daylight dims
Darkness falling cold and grim
Hazard lights flashing, waving my thumb in the wind
And I know what they're saying and thinking
I've said and thought it too
It's just a little different when the person on the side of the road is you
It could be a trap, a desperate thief
Better watch your back
It's better now if we just drive on past
Don't get involved, don't take no risk
Let somebody else stop and take care of it
All night long
I waited for someone
To lend me a hand on the side of this dark highway
All night long
I waited for someone
To lend me a hand on the side of this dark highway
Finding yourself in need of help from a stranger's hand
Makes you realize, opens up your eyes to where you stand
'Cause the good in a man is only as good as the bad is bad
And nobody wants to look at me
Everybody's got somewhere to be
Nothing but an old guitar for company
All night long
I waited for someone
To lend me a hand on the side of this dark highway
All night long
I waited for someone
To lend me a hand on the side of this dark highway
So I sat there singing my lonesome tune
The stars shone down, I stared back at the moon
I couldn't help thinking how everything's turned out wrong
How everyone's afraid of the other guy
Nobody looking you in the eye
Everybody lonesome nobody asking why
All night long
We're waiting for someone
To lend us a hand on the side of this dark highway
All night long
I waited for someone
To lend me a hand on the side of this dark highway
To lend me a hand on the side of this dark highway
To lend me a hand on the side of this dark highway
