I've been thrown here all alone,
somewhere in space and time,
cast on the road like a shaman's bones
left to live or die, yeah.
I'm a very merry prankster,
I'm a pissed-off punk, plaid-shirted angster.
No less, no more than a highway orphan
looking for home.
In this dream called a lifetime,
I've endlessly searched for your face
and we meet here on the shoreline,
you're the ocean I see from this stage.
And all the time that I have spent
chasin' you haunts me
till I'm under these lights,
then I forget how much it's cost me.
And I know I won't spend this night alone
'cause one look in your eyes,
any place on this highway is home.
I walk deep in restless slumber,
alone in a soulless land.
My only peace is in the thunder,
the thunder you hold in your hands.
And all the time that I have spent
chasin' you haunts me
till I'm under these lights,
then I forget how much it's cost me.
I know I won't spend this night alone
'cause one look in your eyes,
any place on this highway is home.
And all the time that I have spent
chasin' you haunts me
till I'm under these lights,
then I forget how much it's cost me.
I know I won't spend this night alone
'cause one look in your eyes,
any place on this highway is home.
And all the time that I have spent
chasin' you haunts me,
so turn up these lights, (so turn up these lights)
make me forget (I'll make you forget)
how much it's cost me.
I know I won't spend this night alone
'cause one look from your eyes,
any place on this highway is home.
