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 pa**ed 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 pa**ed 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 pa**ed me by
i'm scared, i'm scared, i'm scared, i'm scared of highways (time has pa**ed 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 pa**ed 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 pa**ed me by)
and i feel, i feel, like i, like i, i need something, something to wake me up
