Lyrics
A little farm on the edge of somewhere
is from where I came.
A lot of open space and some flowers
I made up my own games
Just me and my little brother
trying to figure out who we are
I'd lie awake and wonder
what was beyond the stars
then I heard the call of something
Found myself flying southbound
heading for FLA
Another father and mothers daughter looking for to make her way
So I hit the road, shot my load and ground up my bones
I'd feel those wheels beneath me and I'd feel the rolling stone
Til' I heard the call of something
I hear the call of something
The Highway to take me home
The Highway to make me whole
Take the ride to find out what is mine
The HIghway
The Highway
I pack my bags and wander
looking for peace of mind.
Sometimes I shake my head and wonder why it's so hard to find.
Then I think about the other souls who've lost along the way.
I wonder if they'll ever find a place that they can stay
Til' they hear the call of something
they hear that call of something
The Highway to take me home
The Highway to make me whole
Take the ride to find out what is mine.
