Lyrics
"The Highway"
Copyright Tracy Marie
The half-moon looks red tonight
I see it in the western sky
I see it from the highway
The one on which I drive
It must be a sign
Will it be alright?
It must be alright tonight
I wonder when I leave this place
go back to one from which I came
I feel so insignificant
I wonder will it be the same
Give me a sign
Wll it be alright?
It must be alright tonight.
