Highway Heartache

Heavy wheels on empty streets, the night feels long and cold

FM tunes and cracked dashboard, stories left untold

Clock's a ticking, miles unending, sun beats down so hard

Air conditioner’s broken, breathing's heavy, body's scarred

No motel in the horizon, bills piling high at home

Living on this highway, yet I feel so alone

Low on cash, high on dreams, trying just to stand

Fighting through the silence, a weary, restless man

Driving through the darkness, no relief in sight

Long shifts and rattling windows, holding on tight

Air's thick, money's thin, still I push along

In this life of rubber tires, where I don’t belong

Flickering lights of trucks pass by, shadows in the night

Cooking in this saunalike cab, no end in sight

Loans and mounting debts, these walls keep closing in

Just another day of fighting him, this restless wind

Low on cash, high on dreams, trying just to stand

Fighting through the silence, a weary, restless man

Driving through the darkness, no relief in sight

Long shifts and rattling windows, holding on tight

Air's thick, money's thin, still I push along

In this life of rubber tires, where I don’t belong

Oh, I crave sweet respite, a simple restful night

But these roads keep calling, no end in their sight

Hope flickers faintly, like a distant, fading star

Yet I keep steering forward, no matter where we are

So I’ll keep burning fuel, chasing dawn’s first light

Long shifts and broken air, I will fight the night

Battered but unbroken, dreams still alive within

On this endless road, I refuse to give in
