Blue Highway

Blue Highway
Lucy Billings (Lucy Tunes Music, ASCAP)

Beneath the desert sun, a boy is on the run
Down roads where the curves play tricks on you
Even from the start, something set you apart
You were child with a different inner view
A parent’s ridicule, a teacher that was cruel
You took refuge in being alone
Part of you shut down, but later on was found
In the relic-laden hills where you would roam

[Chorus]
When you find your own way
The path that you travel must be true
And there’s no other road
Despite what others may expect from you
May the blue highway, the blue highway, and the blue highway
Carry you to freedom

And throughout the years I’ve watched you persevere
Even when it seemed that survival was at stake
You admired me - it was hard for you to see
At times I think I took the easy way
Looking back we never did lose track
Of the quest that binds us still
The losses and the gains as we struggle with the reins
Can’t derail the dream and never will

[Chorus]
