Blood On The Highway

from The Way by The Advocates

/

about

A tune about touring, the lifestyle & supposed freedom that goes with it, and how once you're in, it's very hard to ever get out

lyrics

Blood on the highway dirt on your mind
A kiss full of promises from a mouthful of lies
Runaway trucks with no time to stop
Leave another town another bottle to drop

Too hard to love too easy to kill
Drive on through ride on by
Foot to the floor sparkle in my eye

Now I gotta leave it's time for me to be
Everything I want I gotta set my mind free
Never gonna end never gonna end say just what you like cause I got nothing to pretend
Stripped of my mind leaving me blind
I got everywhere to run and everywhere to hide
Look at me like a fool you just cant stand
I got everything I want right in the palm of my hand

Blood on the highway dirt on your mind
A kiss full of promises from a mouthful of lies
Runaway trucks with no time to stop
Leave another town another bottle to drop

I'm gonna run away 300 miles an hour
Taste it in my mouth oh so sweet and sour
I wont stand one more day with you
Drive on by I'm gonna break on through

I'm gonna ride gonna ride gonna ride gonna ride gonna ride gonna ride tonight
Gonna drive on by drive on by drive on by and write my name in the sky
Gonna drive drive on by
This road aint goin to heaven this road wont keep me well
This road will send me blind and straight to fuckin hell

Tear at my soul the only way to go
Looks like this is gonna be the only thing I'll ever know
I'll crash and I'll burn never fuckin learn
I'm just another loose abuser with a hunger for concern
The game that I play it's always here to stay
I'm just a Frankie motherfucker gonna do it my way
false truths that I defy
Wether I live
Or wether I die
