ice has formed between the wheels and the asphalt ice has formed between my skin and bones ice is warmin to the sweet at last thought of taking the highway home taking the highway home taking the highway home in the wake of the ice and snow i am taking the highway this old road can be cold and mean halos of vultures and roadkill dreams startling darkness on a windy ridge rocking my heart like an empty rig i am taking the highway home taking the highway home in the wake of the ice and snow i am taking the highway you see your sweet country roads you keep em they re way too slow i don t need no scenery there s only one scene i see she s why i m taking the highway home taking the highway home in the wake of the ice and snow i am taking the highway taking the highway home taking the highway home her sunny day gonna melt me away and i ll be taking the highway home
