Before I hit the highway

I’,m not sleeping well, maybe you can tell.

I can close my eyes, but sleep won't close in on me.

But if it's all the same,(To you.) I guess I like this game, (It's true)

'Cause when I close my eyes it's the dreams of my life I see.

And that's why, I gotta try.

And that's why, there's that look in my eye.

And that's why...

I'm high, before I hit the highway.

That's why, it's these visions in my mind.

wondering what I will find,

it get's me high, before I hit the highway.

Another sleepless night, (For me.) I guess it'll be alright. (You see.)

I can turn off the light, but I can't turn off my mind.

It hears a calling,(Out there.) so I go looking. (Somewhere.)

I don't know what for but it's something I've got to find.

Chorus  And that's why, sometimes I cry.

        It's a fire, that burns in my eyes.

They call them white nights, (They do.) They turn to daylight. (It's True.)

And a restless wind is blowing through my soul.

Time you can't borrow, (Oh no.)

can't save it for tomorrow. (I know.)

I better take the wheel while I can still take control.

I said I better take the wheel while I can still take control!
