lyrics

There's a girl on 17th, with hungry eyes and crazy dreams
A heart of gold and open arms, she calls me in the night
There's a highway west of town, it lifts me up, it drags me down
It pulls me far away from you, it calls me in the night

There's a girl that I did meet when I first walked these city streets
She said you'll never make it in this town, and she told me not to dream
Just a rambler born to roam, I skipped the town just like a stone
I can still hear it call me back, but that never was for me

I've always been a dreamer, and the highway calls my name
So I hang on to freedom as I wish the world away

A cowboy dreams of honky-tonks, of whiskey drinks and lonesome songs
A moving train, a river bank, and a bed that you can fold
She dreams of solid ground, a nine-to-five, a quiet town
Where you can dream your life away and do just what you're told

I've always been a dreamer, and the highway calls my name
So I hang on to freedom as I wish the world away
