There's a smooth stretch of highway
That rolls out from the past
Far away from the sadness,
where it ain't worth goin back.
And if you keep on traveling
Past road signs that say peace
You'll find the end amazing
Cause that's where you found me.

Chorus:
On that highway there's a better me for you
Drifting your way to take away your blues
Right there beneath the open sky
where the once that was, is you and I,
There's a better me for you.

(Musical break)

You had me geared for leavin
The traveling ways I lived
And a rumble in my heart
Made me settle down a bit
But my longing for the freeway
would come between our thoughts
But most don't know that feeling,
And few talk about the cost.

Chorus:
On that highway there's a better me for you
Drifting your way to take away your blues
Right there beneath the open sky
where the once that was, is you and I,
There's a better me for you.

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

This was so beautiful and so heartfelt Eric. Your words always leave an impression.

Take care....Sue

"And if you keep on traveling

I think I'd follow a road sign that said peace...haven't seen many lately.

I think you're the tops, though.
