Out Here On Nowhere Highway

Well I was born with my hands tied up,
Shackled around my back,
Growin up in the mist of a harsh dream,
Of concrete, toxic fumes and stone,
It don't get much harder than this,
With freedom always so far away, oh no,
It only takes a broken promiss,
To bring you to your knees,

Stories written on ripped jeans and 'round black alleys,
On dark corners and old whiskey bars,
Where strangers meet to drink away the scars,
They got in dark rooms and in the back of getaway cars,
But if you take my hand darling I swear,
That if we think on our feet, we can make a run for it,
Out into the horizon, babe, we'll head nowhere,
We sure gonna leave babe, but we ain't never gonna quit,

'Coz out in the night, from the lovers' rosey lips,
Dreams are born and fate is touched and kissed,,
And the junkies and hoodlums and all the dirty souls gather round,
On street cornes for one last shot at redemption only to shoot and miss,
And it don't get much easier than this,
When we're all falling from grace trying to grab onto,
Fading ropes and slippery hands,  now ain't this bliss,

But this is the way we live, you and I,
With one hand gripping tightly on a gun,
The other one on the steering wheel,
And the pedal to the floor,
Tell me 'coz I wanna know if this is real,
Crashing out on curbs, burning out on highways,
Smashing into each other, is this the best deal,
We could ever hope to get,

Well this here's life out here on nowhere highway,
Where the unwanted children and the forgotten,
Flood the streets by the thousands, everyday,
The dissilussioned and unfortunate sons,
And the broken hearted can only march on,
To the stifled beat of worn-out drums,
As they sing along,
I'll live fast and I'll die hard 'coz that's how I was born,

Out here on nowhere highway,

Out here on nowhere highway,

Send a little prayer out my way...

Can I tell you I was wrong,
I was lost and torn,
I was delivered and sent back home,

And the days will be renewed,
And you'll forget all the things you knew,
And you'll be hopefully,
Clueless and true,

And I trust the light will guide you,
And the spark of your heart ignite you,
And I'll feel alive when in the night you,

Send a little prayer out my way,
Send a little prayer out my way,

Threw it all out the window,
That just goes to show,
That's how the story of us go,

Leaving on the mend,
Save it for a friend,
I am just trying to breathe you in,

And I trust the light will guide you,

And the spark of your heart ignite you,

And I'll feel alive when in the night you,

Send a little prayer out my way,

Send a little prayer out my way,

And this just might be the corniest thing to say,

But love will make it's way,

Back to you,

And if that should fail, I will stay,

I'll stay beside you every step of the way,

And I trust the light will guide you,

And the spark of your heart ignite you,

And I'll feel alive when in the night you,

Send a little prayer out my way,

Send a little prayer out my way,

She and I... (For the Sweetest Stranger)

I'm gonna fall down on her lap,
She's gonna close me up like a book,
And cradle me in her arms,
Kiss me or hate me, love me or kill me,
Do your worst I cannot be harmed,
'Cause when she looks upon me,
I drift away into her eyes,
Like smoke going up and vanishing into the open skies,

She and I are like the ocean and the river,
All the time I hear her call,
I run to her over the rocks,
And rush to her over waterfalls,

She and I are like the night and the star,
Though we're not quite the same thing,
We're never apart,
She's the light that keeps me company,
Throughout the dark,

I'm just another rebel without a cause,
Without a home, with greasy hair and torn jeans,
She, just another crownless beauty queen,
And together we're fools, chasing after,
Broken dreams.

She and I are like the ocean and the river,

All the time I hear her call,

I run to her over the rocks,

And rush to her over waterfalls,

She and I are like the night and the star,

Though we're not quite the same thing,

We're never apart,

She's the light that keeps me company,

Throughout the dark,

She runs my soul into the ground,
I, at times let her down,
But we always stay around,

She and I are like oil and water,
We may not get on to well,
But we've seen each other through heaven and hell,
Always together,
And that's how it will be forever,

She and I are like the ocean and the river,

All the time I hear her call,

I run to her over the rocks,

And rush to her over waterfalls,

She and I are like the night and the star,

Though we're not quite the same thing,

We're never apart,

She's the light that keeps me company,

Throughout the dark,
