the kansas sun, behind i left everyone
there was no getting over, no place to hide
with a future as open wide
as the shirt on travolta in "staying alive"
i'm scared, i'm scared, i'm scared, i'm scared of highways (time has passed me by)
and i feel, i feel, like i, like i, i've been wandering all this time
so suddenly, seemed my future was next to me
how'd i get so far
on a texas highway in the night
if i could, if i might
first car i see tonight
wake me when it's over
i'm scared, i'm scared, i'm scared, i'm scared of highways (time has passed me by)
and i feel, i feel, like i, like i, i could wander and never find
maybe i won't fail if i never try
prisoner on this island, boots over my shoulder
i've begun to think, wisdom will come to me now
when i get older, but with the world no longer at my feet
somehow or other time has passed me by
i'm scared, i'm scared, i'm scared, i'm scared of highways (time has passed me by)
and i feel, i feel, like i, like i, i could wander and never find
and i drove through the day and i drove through the night
and it seems i've been running out, i've been running
from what i might become
and i lost the promise there, come on back to me now
i'm scared, i'm scared, i'm scared, i'm scared of highways (time has passed me by)
and i feel, i feel, like i, i could wander all my life
i'm scared, i'm scared, i'm scared, i'm scared of highways (time has passed me by)
and i feel, i feel, like i, like i, i need something, something to wake me up
