I'm driving a big lazy car rushin' up the highway
in the dark
I got one hand steady on the wheel and one hand's
tremblin' over my heart
It's pounding baby like it's gonna bust right on
through
And it ain't gonna stop till I'm alone again with
you
A friend of mine became a father last night
When we spoke in his voice I could hear the
light
Of the skies and the rivers the timberwolf in the
pines
And that great jukebox out on Route 39
They say he travels fastest who travels alone
But tonight I miss my baby tonight I miss my
home
Is it the sound of the leaves
left blown by the wayside
That's got me out here on this spooky old highway
tonight
Is it the cry of the river
With the moonlight shining through
That ain't what scares me baby
What scares me is losing you
They say if you die in your dreams you really die
in your bed
But honey last night I dreamed my eyes rolled
straight back in my head
And God's light came shinin' on through
I woke up scared and breathin' and born anew
It wasn't the cold river bottom I felt rushing
over me
It wasn't the bitterness of a dream that didn't
come true
It wasn't the wind in the grey fields I felt
moving through my arms
No no baby, baby it was you
No no baby, baby it was you
Baby it was you
