HWY.
Lyrics and Music by Dave Wright
©2016

On the road again, she was always on the road,
Caught between her heart and her home.
It was a long, a long dark ride,
That separated her lights from mine.

I know, I didn’t want her to go,
She knew, I missed her so,
But I swear I didn’t know she was trying to get back home.

And now I blame myself for the broken glass,
The burning car, the guilt that will always last,
And the same sad song spinning ‘round.
I see her on the road that night,
Driving so fast just to get back on time,
With those sad, tired eyes shutting down,
Falling,
Like ashes to the ground.

God knows, I got tired,
Of chasing life down a satellite.
I know, I tried,
To get her to pull over and stop for the night.

I know, I didn’t want her to go,
She knew, I missed her so,
But I swear I didn’t know she was trying to get back home.

And now I blame myself for the broken glass,
The burning car, the guilt that will always last,
And the same sad song spinning ‘round.
I see her on the road that night,
Driving so fast just to get back on time,
With those sad, tired eyes shutting down,
Falling,
Like ashes to the ground.

The hwy, the hwy,
All I do is drive all night,
The only place she’s alive.

And now I blame myself for the broken glass,
The burning car, the guilt that will always last,
And the same sad song spinning ‘round.
I see her on the road that night,
Driving so fast just to get back on time,
With those sad, tired eyes shutting down,
Falling,
Like ashes to the ground.

The hwy, the hwy,
All I do is drive all night,
The only place she’s alive.

about

Dave Wright & The Midnight Electric image

Dave Wright & The Midnight Electric Melbourne, Australia

Singer/songwriter/bandleader Dave Wright is after one thing: A perfect 4-minute pop song.
When he puts pen to paper and pick to guitar strings, however, the Melburnian-by-way-of-Colac knocks out epics and ravers and boozers about girls, cars, Australia, mariticide, Diggers, truckers, sadness, sickness, drunks, heartbroken mothers, angry fathers, desperate sons … and death. Lots of death. ... more
