[Verse 1] Boot heel on the white line Thumb out to an empty sky Truckers pass Eyes straight ahead Guess I look too tired to try Backpack full of almosts Letters that I never sent Highway with no address Just the miles and what they meant [Chorus] I'm walkin' down this highway Goin' nowhere in particular Wishin' I could go back home But home's drifted off the map Now I'm just a nomad with a heart full of miracles That never quite happen They always collapse What happened to kindness What happened to understanding Why is every outstretched hand just sand No place to go No place to stay Nobody helping me make a stand I'm losing again When love is lost like this [Verse 2] Stopped off at a diner Same coffee Different town Old man said "You'll figure it out" Then he stared back at his grounds People talk in headlines Say "you'll be okay You'll be fine" But they don't see the quiet Where the crying takes its time [Chorus] I'm walkin' down this highway Goin' nowhere in particular Wishin' I could go back home But home's drifted off the map Now I'm just a nomad with a heart full of miracles That never quite happen They always collapse What happened to kindness What happened to understanding Why is every outstretched hand just sand No place to go No place to stay Nobody helping me make a stand I'm losing again When love is lost like this [Bridge] If I turn around Will anything be waiting If I keep on going Will I ever see it through I keep holdin' out my hope like a torn-up ticket Prayin' someday this road leads back to you (yeah) [Chorus] I'm walkin' down this highway Goin' nowhere in particular Wishin' I could go back home But home's drifted off the map Now I'm just a nomad with a heart full of miracles That never quite happen They always collapse What happened to kindness What happened to understanding Can somebody meet me where I am No place to go No place to stay Still trying hard to make a stand I'm losing again When love is lost like this When love is lost like this
