Great Highway Lyrics

Don't you let me down (© Doug Smith, 2003)

It's been ten long years
since I crawled through your window
I've been moving at the speed of sound
anyway the wind blows

The further I go the further apart
I'm flying by the stations of your heart
And I'm leaving town

The engines are in flames
The fever's on the rise
Wheels are a spinning
'cross the sunset skies

Keep me reeling, keep me on the verge
Everything that rises must converge
And the wheels touch down

Oooh, keep the wheels in motion
Oooh, and don't you let me down

It's been three long days
since I broke down your door
Ten feet of the ocean
rainin' on your floor

When I awoke one thing was clear
I'm floating on the riptide of your tears
And I'm losing ground

Oooh, why do you bring me fever?
Oooh, why do you let me down?

It's been 24 hours
since we said goodbye
Feel the winds a rushing
When I look in your eye

One last look and the fever is broken
thinkin' about the the words you might have spoken
And I hear the sound

Oooh, why do you bring me fever?
Oooh, why do you let me down?
Oooh, keep the wheels in motion.
Oooh, and don't you let me down.
