Lonely Road

driving down a lonely road
searching for signs to turn this life around
need to make some tracks on solid ground
this heart of mine has been carrying a heavy load

I've got the late night blues
singing a song, feeling confused 

driving down a dead end road
need to put on the brakes before it's too late
find my way back to the nearest interstate
driving fast and free, talkin' to you in secret code

 GPS, recalculating, recalculating, recalculating
my head is spinning, trying to find the road to you
seems destiny is a vast unknown, lost without a clue
my hands are sweating, my heart is palpitating

Maybe, I need to call it a night, 
call it a night,
   call it a night
signs will be clearer in the morning light
light, light, light

On the radio, Coast to Coast talking about dreams
I'm in the fast lane, chasing lost  pieces of my own
searching for signs through the headlight beams
I've traveled too far, too damn late to postpone

I've got the late night blues
singing a song, feeling confused 

looking at the time, I wanna call your cell phone
how to reach you, your number is out of sight
driving in the night, I've never felt so alone
I wonder if we'll ever truly get it right

driving down a lonely road
searching for signs to turn this life around
need to make some tracks on solid ground
this heart of mine has been carrying a heavy load

Maybe, I need to call it a night, 
call it a night,
   call it a night
signs will be clearer in the morning light
light, light, light

author's note: A work in progress - thanks for reading
I've been sick and listening to some late night radio
and this was birthed. I guess when you sleep all
day you are restless in the night.
