Bob Seger — The Highway

[Verse 1] It takes a window into your conscience It takes a hard look into your soul It takes a ton of faith to push the doubt away And reestablish full control In a world of phony prophets In a sea of plain conceit Fight the wind and waves through the fog and haze Until the good earth's under your feet [Pre-Chorus] You'll never know until you try If you can reach beyond the sky [Chorus] I'm packin' up my gear I'm gettin' out of here Up where the air is clear Headin' for the highway, headin' for the highway I need to turn the wheel Away from every deal Until I find what's real Headin' for the highway, headin' for the highway [Verse 2] I have lived among the missing I have walked around asleep I've been written off, I've been sold and bought I have stared into the deep There's a price for every promise Every dream we victimize A creative fate that you can't escape Is the dreaded compromise [Pre-Chorus] So much depends on what we say When everyone gets in our way [Chorus] I need to break the chains I need to take the reins And make a major change Headin' for the highway, headin' for the highway I need to find the line Between who's left behind And who takes too much time Headin' for the highway, headin' for the highway I'm packin' up my gear I'm gettin' out of here Up where the air is clear Headin' for the highway, headin' for the highway I need to turn the wheel Away from every deal Till I can find what's real Headin' for the highway, headin' for the highway [Outro] Headin' for the highway, headin' for the highway Headin' for the highway
