"Highway's Holding Me Now" lyrics

"Highway's Holding Me Now"

Sleepy truckers, prescription haze
They ain't slept in days
Give 'em something to cut the smoke
Lord help 'em on their way
Every line on this road is another line on my face
Say your door's wide open, but I know my place, oh

My chest is pulling tighter, my heart can't open wider
Do I have to leave for you to come around?
If I could breathe you deeper, you'd be my only keeper
But the highway's holding me for now, oh

If you were my medication, I'd need a straight shot
But these miles of peace of mind, well, they're all I got
Gimme, gimme, gimme more before this panic sets in
The wheels fell off a while ago
I just can't afford to start over again, no

My chest is pulling tighter, my heart can't open wider
Do I have to leave for you to come around?
If I could breathe you deeper, you'd be my only keeper
But the highway's holding me for now, oh

My chest is pulling tighter, my heart can't open wider
Do I have to leave for you to come around?
If I could breathe you deeper, you'd be my only keeper
But the highway's holding me for now, oh

My chest is pulling tighter, my heart can't open wider
Do I have to beg you to come around, no?
If I could breathe you deeper, you know how much I need you
But the highway's holding me for now, hey

Oh, it hold me, babe
Oh, woah
