Highway To Nowhere

Highway to nowhere.

For miles and miles I can only see,
everything you'd dreamed I'd be.
From lawyer, to doctor to teacher.
Once you even dreamed a preacher.
But, life is life, and this one is mine.

For miles and miles I can only see,
everything I dreamed I'd be.
From this to that, and that to this.
Each I've passed, and each I've missed.

As I lay beyond the ocean,
left behind, mind in motion.
thoughts run through,
each surrounding you.

You sent me on my way,
left there alone that day.
After, I worked so long,
you still said I did it all wrong.

I became what you wanted me to be.
Upon this road of an unmarked destiny.
I've followed the highway to nowhere,
for someone who didn't even care.
