Highway Through the Shadows


Verse 1
Well, the road is long, and the night is cold,
Got these heavy thoughts that I can’t seem to hold,
Driving through the darkness, where the shadows creep,
Fighting off the demons that keep me from sleep.

Pre-Chorus
Every mile I travel, I’m searching for light,
But the weight of my worries keeps me up at night.
Got a heart full of burdens, a mind full of doubt,
But I won’t let this darkness pull me down and out.

Chorus
I’m on a highway through the shadows,
Chasing dreams that feel so far away.
With the pain of my body and the ache in my soul,
I’m fighting through the night for a brighter day.
Oh, I’m weary from the struggle, but I won’t lose my way,
On this highway through the shadows, I’ll find my place to stay.

Verse 2
Every bill’s a mountain, and every payment’s steep,
Worrying ‘bout tomorrow, can’t find my peace.
But I’ll keep on driving, through the tears and the rain,
Searching for a silver lining in this world of pain.

Pre-Chorus
I’ll take my scars and wear them like a crown,
I’ll rise from the ashes, I won’t let you down.
With the road behind me and the stars up ahead,
I’ll keep on moving forward, leaving doubt for dead.

Chorus
I’m on a highway through the shadows,
Chasing dreams that feel so far away.
With the pain of my body and the ache in my soul,
I’m fighting through the night for a brighter day.
Oh, I’m weary from the struggle, but I won’t lose my way,
On this highway through the shadows, I’ll find my place to stay.

Bridge
And when the dawn is breaking, I’ll take a breath and see,
That the battles I’ve been facing are just part of me.
With every twist and turn, I’m learning to be strong,
In this journey through the shadows, I’ve been here all along.

Chorus
I’m on a highway through the shadows,
Chasing dreams that feel so far away.
With the pain of my body and the ache in my soul,
I’m fighting through the night for a brighter day.
Oh, I’m weary from the struggle, but I won’t lose my way,
On this highway through the shadows, I’ll find my place to stay.

Outro
Yeah, I’ll find my place to stay,
On this highway through the shadows, I’ll be okay.
I’ll be okay.
