Raw dreams ride On the lost highway Some faded signs Point to wasted days One mile more To a midnight stop Quarter a song On an old juke box It’s a long hard road On a dark two lane No room to pass No prize to claim A face in a mirror A photo on a seat Every light ahead Blinking beat by beat Blinking yellow at night Blinking red at day The only exit left On a lost highway The curve ahead With a plastic cross Washed out names The dead and the lost A dying town Single cafe light Cigarettes and steak Smoke filled night Half price beer Redeeming the shame Of a plastic cross With forgotten names The highway is empty Just the moon and the cross No one searching for The dead and the lost Creation perished On the turn that day A curve misjudged On the lost highway Innocence surrenders Once the two lane begins Cause when that moment dies Eternity wins
