sorry, it had to be said.

nothing goes away
and our obese souls trudge
until the fat oozes and freezes
and we're stuck .

Once we danced because we might be great
and then we danced to remember.
and now we don't dance at all.

unhealthy, constricted veins
and a tired heart, and idle feet.

repurposed dance shoes,

and no beat.

Always the highway.

She said,
"I know I should be smiling
even though times are hard
but I don't know if my brain works that way.

When none of my beginnings
can find happy endings
and now I can't even get paid.

It's high time I questioned
this crap that I've been given
and why I'm living this life

It's seem all my workin
didn't add up to nuthin'
they say I'm better off this way?

Why do I fight so hard
to go nowhere?

If it always leads
back to here
does it matter where I go
I might as well
close my eyes
and follow the sun
If life always
leads me back to here
then I'll leave it to the breeze
and if i find myself
here again
and not free

There's always the highway
always the highway."

So she sold all her extras
and counted all her pennies
and thought about what made her smile

If she could get closer
to what she'd been missing
it wouldn't matter if it took awhile.

If each step is sweeter
I know I'll be happier
but i better not wait too long .

There's a path that awaits me,
and you might think I'm crazy
but I'm trying to hear my song"

If you listen hard enough
to your soul.

If life always leads
back to here
does it matter where I go?
might as well close my eyes
and follow the sun.
If life always leads me
back to here,
then I'll leave it to the breeze,
and if I find myself here again
and not free

There's always the highway,
always the highway.
