Don't want to live on the highway
Don't want to live on the road no more
For I'll be thinking of leaving
When I open my window or walk out my door
Keep me away from the station
Keep me away from the train
And save me from the frustration
Of catching the local and missing the plane
And every truck rolling by will remind me
That I've been meaning to go
I'll leave the dull wind behind me
I'm settling down with the children and all
Don't want to live on the highway
Don't want to live on the road no more
For I'll be thinking of leaving
When I open my window or walk out my door
Now every cloud rolling by reminds me
I found a new way to fly
I'll leave the night bird behind me
The bread in the oven, the sun on the rise
Don't want to live on the highway
Don't want to live on the road no more
For I'll be thinking of leaving
When I open my window or walk out my door
Don't want to live on the highway
Don't want to live on the road no more
Don't want to live on the highway no more
