Tonight, the evening
My hands keep busy on the radio receiving
I know you are out there
I want to help you to come in clear

You always were like a river
Talking day and night like a river
This is the landfill, you can deliver
Our clothes to the floor like the bags we tore open

It's midnight and the way is clear
As clear as the day is near
It's so boring in the north
That I bore a hole right through the floor

And somewhere when the day is done
It feels like a lover is gone
And taken all my favourite feelings with them

I have to keep a highway mind
The straight face of the highway kind
The humor of the highway life
When you set the clock on the wall to the highway
You set the clock on the wall to the highway
You set the clock on the wall to the highway

I have to keep a highway mind
The straight face of the highway kind
The humor of the highway life
When you set the clock to the highway time

I have to keep a highway mind
The straight face of the highway kind
The humor of the highway life
When you set the clock to the highway time

I have to keep a highway mind
The straight face of the highway kind
The humor of the highway life
When you set the clock to the highway time

I have to keep a highway mind
The straight face of the highway kind
The humor of the highway life
When you set the clock to the highway time
