lyrics

Have you ever really walked on a highway at night,
And given your fears a good fight?
Have you ever expected for no one to stop,
And for no on to hear your clip and you clop?
When your feet are the only things moving you,
And there is no cheat to reach the next view,
Don’t you ever forget that feeling
When you see a soul walking on a highway at night

La da da…

And the lights, they come flashing behind you
And you’re startled by a shadow before
And the stars are just pebbles above you
And the pebbles are stars on the floor

Well the highlife will keep me from thinking
That sinking is not that far off
For about three months I was carried
And then life said “Girl, get out and walk,
“And walk, and walk and walk,
“And walk, and walk, and walk.”

La da da…

Well I’ll carve out a space on the face of this earth
And my weathered head I will hold high
I was never too good for hard working,
I was never too good for the fight

Yes, the highlife will keep me from thinking
That sinking is not that far off
For about three months I was carried
And then life said “Girl get out and walk”
And then life said “Girl get out and walk”
And then life said “Girl, get out and walk”
