Audioslave - I Am The Highway Lyrics

Audioslave Lyrics

"I Am The Highway"

Pearls and swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities, alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity for leaving, I feel, yeah

I am not your rolling wheels – I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride – I am the sky

Friends and liars don't wait for me
'Cause I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles under my heels
And still too close to you, I feel, yeah

I am not your rolling wheels – I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride – I am the sky

I am not your blowing wind – I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon – I am the night... the night

Yeah!
I am not your rolling wheels – I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride – I am the sky

Well
I am not your blowing wind – I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon – I am the night... the night
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
