Long Lost Highways

Come to town, ask around, no one knows him

That's not to say they ain't seen him around

Like a habit familiar and dull

Or a sunbeam just not quite as bold

A forgotten way of thinking, that doesn't fit into any mold

And ends up floating in the lost and found

And ancient secrets still hold sway

On long lost highways

When you're out there with no sense of time

You got nothing to lose, and everything to find

Come to town, ask around, no one's seen him

That's not to say he don't wanna be seen

And like the infinite scope of the sky

Or a stirring of stillness, with no question why

The songs stuck in your head, no matter how hard you try

You just don't quite know what it means

And ancient secrets still hold sway

On long lost highways

When you're living without a dime

You got nothing to lose, and everything to find

Come to town, ask around, try and find him

Oh but asking wont do you no good

And if every door you come to is locked

Simply reach out and give a knock

You can let yourself in, but don't expect to find him

'Cause it was you, you were looking for all along

And ancient secrets still hold sway

On long lost highways

Like an outlaw ain't got no crime

Well you got nothing to lose, and everything to find
