Prisoner Of The Highway Lyrics

I grew where I was planted
But I never felt at home
My head was filled with questions
And my feet fell on their own
My arms reached out like branches
But my heart just couldn't stay
I left the moment that I could
A prisoner of the highway

I passed by farms and trailers
As I drove through little towns
I found trouble in the city
I never set my suitcase down
And in those empty alleys
Where retaining walls decay
I just kept a-movin'
As a prisoner of the highway

Ooh, ooh
And I don't know where I'm headed
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And I don't know where it ends

Well the wind it felt like freedom
As it whipped through my hair
I was everywhere, and everyone
I was nobody, and nowhere
Well the map was written on my hand
And in my DNA
I believe that I was meant to be
A prisoner of the highway

Had chains around my ankles
Handcuffs on my wrists
I was haunted by decisions
And the simple things I missed
Dear God, why do I wander?
Why was I born this way?
And I prayed He would release me
As a prisoner of the highway

Ooh, ooh
And I don't know where I'm headed
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And I don't know where it ends

Hey

I sacrificed my family
Sacrificed true love
I sacrificed my unborn child
To the heaven's up above
Oh, there was not a limit
To those I would betray
Oh, I was deep down in it
As a prisoner of the highway

I just kept a-movin'
As a prisoner of the highway (highway)
