In my rearview mirror
My life is getting clearer
The sunset sighs and slowly disappears
These trinkets once were treasure
Life changes like the weather
You grow up, grow old, or you hit the road 'round here
So I drive (drive drive)
Watching white lines passing by
My plastic dashboard Jesus
Waiting there to greet us


Hey Hey I finally found my way
Said goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
Yeah, I'm busting loose, I'm lettin go
Out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
Hey hey, hey hey


Don't know where I'm going
But I know where I've been
I'm afraid of going back again
So I drive (drive drive)
Years and miles are flying by
And waiting there to greet us
Is my plastic dashboard Jesus


Hey Hey
Hey Hey I finally found my way
Said goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
Hell, I'm busting loose, I'm lettin go
Out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
Hey hey
hey, hey


Oh patron saint of lonely souls
Tell this boy which way to go
Guide the car, you've got the keys
Farewell to mediocrity
Kicking off the cruise control
And turning up the radio
Got just enough religion
And a half a tank of gas
Come on
Let's go


I finally found my way
Said goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
I'm busting loose, I'm lettin go
When I'm out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
Hey hey
