lyrics

The GPS switches to night mode
I make a stop, buy a drink, while the car fills up
Then the GPS switches to day mode
Another stop, buy a drink, while the car fills up

Oh highway, it’s been a while
I haven’t said a word
Let’s not let this stubborn air go undisturbed

Though it took two bungees to hold it closed
In the trunk I’ve managed to fit a stone
That I’ve carried longer than you’d think
We have seen the rise of every mountain range
And the falls of thousands that were never named
Watched the glacial turn of everything

Oh highway it’s been a while
You’d think my life’s absurd
But you know what I always say
When there’s a—

A deer dashes right through the roadway
I try to stop, but I swerve into the oncoming lane
Then the headlights start coming like rainfall
But I’d still be dry, even if I were trying to get hit
And that’s just the way that it is
So I take my time getting back in the right lane again, but

Did you notice where the deer was headed to
It took the exit that leads to downtown
Y’know, I think that’s curious.
I wonder where she’s headed to
