Highway Five

William Topley · Other Songs - William Topley

Well love is a power and I play to rule

Well love is a power and as an absolute corrupts entirely

All our minds and sets a course that we can't sail



Well love is a power and I play to rule

Well love is a power and as an absolute corrupts entirely

All our minds and it's a language we can't use



Well what if I should call your name at night

What if she can't cope with me if we should come to fight

And what if I can't never be nobody else's



Baby got lost on Highway 5 and called my name out loud

Said she broke down and cried about how we can't

live apart

And all the people they were driving by they watched her

Like she was mad

But she knew she would never suffer from the

Madness that

They had



Baby got lost on Highway 5 and called my name out loud

Said she broke down and cried about how we can't

live apart

And all the people they were driving by they watched her

Like she was mad

But she knew she would never suffer from the

Madness that

They had



Baby takes off in a DC-10 stares down Highway 5

She said she looked down and wondered why we can't

live apart

And all the foolish people they were sitting there like a smile on a

foolish face

Flying 500 miles an hour with no sense of time or space



Baby knelt down in a church of God 10 miles down

Highway 5

She said she looked up and asked to know why we can't

live apart

And all the people were standing up and singing like they

were mad

But she don't get no answers to the questions that she had



Heaven saw a knife in a young girl's heart burn right

through on Highway 5

Said it takes time and big mistakes for us to realize

We need each other like the air we breathe ain't nothing

that we can do

And no one else will ever make me quite as mad as you do
