Dark Highway

Well, I might as well be sitting in the middle of nowhere
 The cars on the highway won't look my way
 They fly by, paralysed am I in the headlight glare
 Blinding light as the daylight dims
 Darkness falling cold and grim
 Hazard lights flashing, waving my thumb in the wind
 And I know what they're saying and thinking
 I've said and thought it too
 It's just a little different when the person on the side of the road is you
 It could be a trap, a desperate thief
 Better watch your back
 It's better now if we just drive on past
 Don't get involved, don't take no risk
 Let somebody else stop and take care of it
 All night long
 I waited for someone
 To lend me a hand on the side of this dark highway
 All night long
 I waited for someone
 To lend me a hand on the side of this dark highway
 Finding yourself in need of help from a stranger's hand
 Makes you realize, opens up your eyes to where you stand
 'Cause the good in a man is only as good as the bad is bad
 And nobody wants to look at me
 Everybody's got somewhere to be
 Nothing but an old guitar for company
 All night long
 I waited for someone
 To lend me a hand on the side of this dark highway
 All night long
 I waited for someone
 To lend me a hand on the side of this dark highway
 ♪
 So I sat there singing my lonesome tune
 The stars shone down, I stared back at the moon
 I couldn't help thinking how everything's turned out wrong
 How everyone's afraid of the other guy
 Nobody looking you in the eye
 Everybody lonesome nobody asking why
 All night long
 We're waiting for someone
 To lend us a hand on the side of this dark highway
 All night long
 I waited for someone
 To lend me a hand on the side of this dark highway
 To lend me a hand on the side of this dark highway
 To lend me a hand on the side of this dark highway
