Carry Me Over

There's a tavern up on the roadside, I must be coming into town

The moon must be in Aries, because 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 out of here and leave me here to pray?

That one of these mornings the sun's going to rise and 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 and 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 on all of your highway roads of that you can be sure

But I still get lost on all of them roads, I can't seems 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
