Notes:
This song really touches base with true life and what it is really like. I find it fascinating to compare it to a highway. It fits perfectly if you think about it. Highways are not always perfectly paved. They have curves, hills, potholes, cracks, and bumps where they've been repaired. In life we are faced with daily crossroads but the question remains, “Are we gonna give up?” or “live our life in drive?” Life will throw us on some pretty sharp curves but what matters is how we handle them and that’s the true message I feel this song portrays. Life is not perfect and was never promised to be easy, "it’s just a lesson we all gotta learn." |
Busted flat out in the interstate,
I was trying to get out of this town before it got too late
But spinning wheels won’t get you anywhere
There’s an open road but baby life’s not fair
Chorus
It’s another Heartbreak highway
But the sun is shining on a better day
It’s just a lesson we all gotta learn
Life will throw you on some pretty sharp curves
Cause it’s a heartbreak highway
Now I’m not gonna give up no I’m kickin’ up dust
Living my life in drive kissing my past goodbye
God bless all the people who done me wrong
Cause I know it’s only made me strong
Chorus
Baby don’t wait for me
‘Cause I have set myself free
Baby don’t wait for me
Chorus
(Repeat)
