In my rear view mirror, my life is getting clearer
The sunset sighs and slowly disappears
These trinkets once were treasure, life changes like the weather
You grow up, grow old or you hit the road round here
So I drive, watching white lines passing by
With my plastic dashboard Jesus waiting there to greet us
Hey hey! I finally found my way, say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there aint no brakes on this lost highway
Yeah, Im busting loose, Im letting go, out on this open road
Its Independence Day on this lost highway
Hey hey! Hey hey!
I dont know where Im going but I know where Ive been
And Im afraid of going back again
So I drive, years and miles are flying by
And waiting there to greet us is my plastic dashboard Jesus
Hey hey! I've finally found my way, say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there aint no brakes on this lost highway
Yeah, Im busting loose, Im letting go, out on this open road
Its Independence Day on this lost highway
Hey hey! Hey hey!
Oh 'Patron Saint of Lonely Souls' tell this boy which way to go
Guide the car, you got the keys, farewell to mediocrity
Kicking off the cruise-control and turning up the radio
Got just enough religion and a half tank of gas, come on, lets go!
I've finally found my way, say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there aint no brakes on this lost highway
Im busting loose, Im letting go, well, I'm out on this open road
Its Independence Day on this lost highway
Hey hey! Hey hey!
Hey hey! On this lost highway
