i m driving a big lazy car rushin up the highway in the dark i got one hand steady on the wheel and one hand s tremblin over my heart it s pounding baby like it s gonna bust right on through and it ain t gonna stop till i m alone again with you a friend of mine became a father last night when we spoke in his voice i could hear the light of the skies and the rivers the timberwolf in the pines and that great jukebox out on route 39 they say he travels fastest who travels alone but tonight i miss my baby tonight i miss my home is it the sound of the leaves left blown by the wayside that s got me out here on this spooky old highway tonight is it the cry of the river with the moonlight shining through that ain t what scares me baby what scares me is losing you they say if you die in your dreams you really die in your bed but honey last night i dreamed my eyes rolled straight back in my head and god s light came shinin on through i woke up scared and breathin and born anew it wasn t the cold river bottom i felt rushing over me it wasn t the bitterness of a dream that didn t come true it wasn t the wind in the grey fields i felt moving through my arms no no baby baby it was you no no baby baby it was you baby it was you baby it was you
