carry me over

there's a tavern up on the roadside

i must be coming into town

the moon must be in aries

'cause the truck ain't slowing down

pulled back on the throttle

i've been doing that all day

looking ahead for a right-hand turn

to carry me away

there's times for understanding

it don't seem like one of those

the times are too demanding

when you're hanging by your nose

so why don't you just get on out of here

and leave me here to pray

that one of these mornings the sun's going to rise

going to carry me away

carry me over the highway

carry me over the sky

carry me over the loneliness

that i'm feeling here tonight

you know i'm feeling just like a riptide

i'm feeling a little scared

a twisted maze of old highways

nobody has repaired

it ain't nothing that can't be handled

like an actor in a play

who becomes enraged

jumps from the stage

and gets a little carried away

now all of your highways

don't mean much to me no more

i've been all on all of your highway roads

of that you can be sure

but i still get lost on all of them roads

can't seem to find my way

i know there's one out there somewhere

to carry me away

carry me over the highway

carry me over the sky

carry me over the loneliness

that i'm feeling here tonight

carry me over the highway

carry me over the sky

carry me over the loneliness

that i'm feeling here tonight
