I opened up my eyes before the sunrise
Just before the clock remembered me
Yet I never waste a single minute
You might think I'm lazy
But you never caught me sleep
Something in my mind's got me so nervous I better try to stay cool
But away from the streets I know it
might be a little early for a party
I'm just celebrating That's the way I wanna live
Now I'm burning down the miles of this old highway
You wouldn't understand it if I had to tell you why
Don't make me waste my time and step out my way
Cause I'm going, that's how I'm going
down the line
I never feared the cold rain in the winter
Never got a mind to sweat beneath the sun
Never cared too much about getting dirty If dirty is the way,
then my work must be done
Out there is a thing that makes me wonder
And I don't think I'll ever get to learn
Even if I tried,
I couldn't change it It'll be with me until the day I'm done
Now I'm burning down the miles of this old highway
You wouldn't understand it if I had to tell you why
Don't make me waste my time and step out my way
Cause I'm going,
that's how I'm going
down the line
Well,
out there is a thing that gets me
moving I mainly feel each word the broken bones
bones bones That's the ride along with my good fellas
On a rusty band,
on the way to a show Now I'm burning down the miles of this old
highway And you wouldn't understand it
if I had to
tell you why Don't make me waste my time and step out my
way
Cause I'm going,
that's how I'm going down
the line
