Open Highways

As I drive down this open highway

The wind rushes though the car door window
fast as the blood pumping in my veins
Every light passing in sync
With the beat of my heart 
And I’m thankful for this day

As I drive down this open highway

I pass by hotel signs which say
Thirty nine ninety nine
for just a one night stay
But life feels so much richer than that
In this City

As I drive down this open highway

My destination is home
My muse in the passenger seat
How could this day
Get any better? I feel light like
I’ve taken a long drag 
From a cigarette

As I drive down this open highway
