Highway Miles
Jennifer O’Connor
Your pretty picture facing down again
"You know what you have to do to win"
Everybody laughed but I could tell
It was not going well
Everyone I love has fallen off again
I try to help them but I've got no love to send
This is what I have to give today
And that is all
Everyone goes running for the door
Don't know what they think their life is for
The black-eyed truth that wakes me in the night
I toss and turn but I never get it right
I'm always late to the scene of that accident
Oh here it comes again
Whеn I close my eyes
I see highway milеs
When I go to sleep
You're still here with me
