[Verse 1]
Sun's peekin' through cheap hotel blinds
And I see that look there in your eyes
You say, "Hey, where you goin'? Come back to bed"
I would if I could, but it don't work like that, no
'Cause white lines and gasoline
And little towns I've never seen
Are the reasons that I can't stay long

[Chorus]
Boy, when you're on
A highway like me
It rolls on and on
You're runnin' full speed
Yeah, it goes where it wants
Don't know where it leads
But it's a hell of a ride
When you're takin' a drive
On a highway like me

[Verse 2]
Well, I could slow down, hit the brakes for a while
And I could get lost in that easy smile
But when the wheels get to turnin', the road starts to call
The taillights are fadin' and I'm good as gone
[Chorus]
Yeah, boy, when you're on
A highway like me
It rolls on and on
You're runnin' full speed
Yeah, it goes where it wants
Don't know where it leads
But it's a hell of a ride
When you're takin' a drive
On a highway like me, yeah

[Bridge]
Ooh, it's reckless, baby, you can bet
It'll drive you wild, it'll take your breath
Believe me, it ain't your fault

[Chorus]
'Cause, boy, when you're on
A highway like me
It rolls on and on
You're runnin' full speed
Yeah, it goes where it wants
Don't know where it leads
But it's a hell of a ride
When you're takin' a drive
On a highway like me
Yeah, it's a hell of a ride
When you're takin' a drive
On a highway like me
