Bob Seger - The Highway Lyrics






It takes a window into your conscience
It takes a hard look into your soul
It takes a ton of faith to push the doubt away
And reestablish full control
In a world of phony prophets
In a sea of plain conceit
Fight the wind and waves through the fog and haze
Until the good old earth's under your feet

You'll never know until you try
If you can reach beyond the sky

I'm packing up my gear
I'm getting out of here
Up where the air is clear
Heading for the highway, heading for the highway

I need to turn the wheel
Away from every deal
Until I find what's real
Heading for the highway, heading for the highway

I have lived among the missing
I have walked around asleep
I've been written off, I've been sold and bought
I have stared into the deep
There's a price for every promise
Every dream we victimize
A creative fate that you can't escape
Is the dreaded compromise

So much depends on what we say
When everyone gets in our way

I need to break the chains
I need to take the reins
And make a major change
Heading for the highway, heading for the highway

I need to find the line
Between who's left behind
And who takes too much time
Heading for the highway, heading for the highway

I'm packing up my gear
I'm getting out of here
Up where the air is clear
Heading for the highway, heading for the highway

I need to turn the wheel
Away from every deal
Till I can find what's real
Heading for the highway, heading for the highway

Heading for the highway, heading for the highway
Heading for the highway

    Great song. Makes me want to take off again on a three day fly fishing camp out.

  2. T.... B....

    Yes, Di, these are from the newest album from 2017, very good one, like a summary of whole his life in music. As far as I know only two or three songs were presented officially, for sure Busload Of Faith and I Knew You When and maybe Democracy, I made the remained 10, 'cause I think they all worth.

    Challenge met and your interpretation of the song and the entire album is brilliant. You obviously dug deep as this was no easy feat to accomplish. As a fan I continue to try and decipher and understand his message on every album and song, this one has been difficult however your videos have captured the meanings behind the songs of this album and I am grateful to have seen them...Thank You....

    L.... G....

    Thanks again, never expected such appreciation, I'm happy :)

    L.... G....

    I am unsure of your artistic background or if your are male, female or indifferent but be certain of one thing, you may not be the artist who wrote and performed the song or the artist who did these incredible pieces on the videos but you are the artist who created these videos and they and like any artist your art is being shared so Thank You for sharing your gift...I have taken a few of your videos and posted them in the fan group I administer and was so pleased to be able to tell fans where to come find all of them. The thing is if your are a fan of the incredible artistry of Bob Seger then you understand that art comes in many forms and know art when we see it....

    L.... G....

    Thank you madam, glad I can help. This album is really great, like a swan song...

    L.... G....

    This album has given the fans a glimpse in to his heart and soul, his intentions of the album was to honor his best friend Glenn Frey whom he is very broken over losing as the man keeps his circle very small and Glenn being one of very few that understood and supported him from the day they met fifty plus years ago. Did you know that three of thee Eagles are doing back up vocals on The Against the Wind Album.. Glenn was only 16 when they met but made it before Seger did even though Seger had several albums out, nine before he hit National status...I own every album he has ever put out, some one can not ever get again, in my opinion this album is brilliant and in his top three best albums if not the best. I do love the Its a Mystery album as well.....

    L.... G....

    Added two songs more from the album, if you're interested :)
