Highway

my clothes were clean
and my shoes were new
as i stepped onto the highway
prepared to catch some ambition
or get lost on the endless white line
whichever came first

how was i to know?
how was i to know?

you were chasing the fleeting hope
the long highway pretends to conceal
now, i can’t shake you long after you’re gone
and this bewilderment i left at home
has found me standing all alone
soiled and worn
facing the cold road of my final days

how was i to know?
how was i to know?

i was still looking for you
