Prisoner Of The Highway

I grew where I was planted
 But I never felt at home
 My head was filled with questions
 And my feet, they long to roam
 My arms reached out like branches
 But my heart just couldn't stay
 I left the moment that I could
 A prisoner of the highway
 I passed by farms and trailers
 As I drove through little towns
 I found trouble in the city
 I never set my suitcase down
 And in those empty alleys
 Where retaining walls decay
 I just kept a-moving
 As a prisoner of the highway
 Ooh, and I don't know where I'm headed
 Ooh, and I don't know where it ends
 Well, the wind, it felt like freedom
 As it whipped through my hair
 I was everywhere and everyone
 I was nobody and nowhere
 Oh, the map was written on my hand
 And in my DNA
 I believe that I was meant to be
 A prisoner of the highway
 Had chains around my ankles
 Handcuffs on my wrists
 I was haunted by decisions
 And simple things I missed
 Dear God, why do I wander?
 Was I born this way?
 And I prayed He would release me
 As a prisoner of the highway
 Ooh, and I don't know where I'm headed
 Ooh, and I don't know where it ends
 ♪
 I sacrificed my family
 Sacrificed true love
 I sacrificed my unborn child
 To the heavens up above
 Oh, there was not a limit
 To those I would betray
 Oh, I was deep down in it
 As a prisoner of the highway
 I just kept a-moving
 As a prisoner of the highway
 (Highway, ooh)
