I lay alone at night and often think of you Each minute seems an hour of wondering what to do I light a cigarette and turn the music loud The lights are flashing now I'm on a crazy cloud I'm riding Highway 216 Everybody knows the way you're turning on my dreams Everybody knows I'm riding Highway 216 No questions why or where You'll never have a care Because they slip away into the day Forget me when I go those were the words she said
But still I see her face a – laughing in my head It was a crazy game the stakes were much too high The blackbird broke a wing they say he'll fly I'm riding Highway 216 Everybody knows the way you're turning on my dreams Everybody knows I'm riding Highway 216 No questions why or where You'll never have a care Because they slip away into the day
