I don't know but I've been told
It might be a saying only
Like darkness keeps a mole
The highway takes the lonely
I recall my younger days
Daddy picked me up from school
Sat in the backseat of his 62 Cad'
Lived by my own rules
The blood was rolling through my vains
Like a train rolls down the tracks
Once a childish dream
Now reality I guess
I don't know but I've been told
It might be a saying only
Like darkness keeps a mole
The highway takes the lonely
I went fishing with my friends
Played baseball with other kids
A tree house I called my own
But I was leaving bit by bit
Guess I was seventeen
I left Brussels, went to Rome
I believe around that time
I chose the highway to be my home
I don't know but I've been told
It might be a saying only
Like darkness keeps a mole
The highway takes the lonely
Ain't no father, ain't no husband
Ain't nobody's fool
From Berlin to the Spanish coast
From Amsterdam to Istanbul
I go for places I don't know
Headin' up and down the road
Livin' life ain't easy
When the highway is your home
I don't know but I've been told
It might be a saying only
Like darkness keeps a mole
The highway takes the lonely
