They got a new freeway in my town That just goes round and round and round. Late at night when I'm missing you, And there's nothing else I can do, The wheels start turning in my mind. There's only one way I can unwind.
CHORUS: I'm going to ride that midnight highway Till I find my way back to you. Though I know I'm going nowhere, I don't care if I can drive away these blues.
There's something about the way I feel Each time I get behind the wheel. The way to you becomes so clear Though I can't get there from here. I guess I'll keep rolling on Until you find your way back home. CHORUS
The wheels start turning in my mind. There's only one way I can unwind. CHORUS
