Great Highway Lyrics

Gone too long (© Ted O'Connell, 2002)

Driving this morning
Down old highway one
I got a feelin'
that it's all come undone

Been lookin' for reasons
for the things I do
Don't have to be special
don't have to be true

Chorus:
I've been down
but now I'm comin' back
I've been away too damn long
This time
I'm gettin' on the track
Because I've been gone too long

Sometimes I wonder
when I lay in bed
if I believe in
the things that I've said

Caught myself dreamin'
like I always do
ain't nothin' special
ain't nothin' new

(Chorus)

I'm guilty of pleasures
that nobody knows
My convenient morality,
it comes and goes.
Got a permanent shuffle
a tall bag of tales
one eye on the exit
in case all else fails

(Chorus)
