Ghost Highway

[Intro]
[Verse]
Clock strikes four in the morning
I’m done with the warning
Oil stains on my jeans
Living in the machine
The line is dead tonight
I’m stepping into the light
[Pre-Chorus]
Punch that card for the last time
Leaving behind every past crime
The boss man is still sleeping
While the promises I’m keeping
[Chorus]
Roaring down the empty road
Dropping every heavy load
The desert wind is calling out
This is what it’s all about
Chasing ghosts from long ago
With nowhere left to go
[Hook]
Burn it down
Leave this town
Burn it down
No more crown
[Verse]
Stole that radio from his desk
Making my own grotesque
Boot heel on the plastic frame
Forget my goddamn name
Harmonica screaming in the wind
For every time I’ve sinned
[Pre-Chorus]
Dust is rising in the rear
Killing off every single fear
The gears are grinding hard today
I’m finally on my way
[Chorus]
Roaring down the empty road
Dropping every heavy load
The desert wind is calling out
This is what it’s all about
Chasing ghosts from long ago
With nowhere left to go
[Solo]
[Bridge]
I promised myself at seventeen
I’d be more than a machine
The chrome reflects the rising sun
And I’ve only just begun
To find the man I used to be
Wild and reckless and free
[Breakdown]
No more shifts
No more drifts
Just the speed
That I need
[Chorus]
Roaring down the empty road
Dropping every heavy load
The desert wind is calling out
This is what it’s all about
Chasing ghosts from long ago
With nowhere left to go
[Post-Chorus]
Driving fast
Make it last
Driving fast
Forget the past
[Outro]
