Lost Highway Lyrics
In my rearview mirror
My life is getting clearer
The sunset sighs and slowly disappears
These trinkets once were treasure
Life changes like the weather
You grow up, grow old, or you hit the road 'round here
So I drive (drive drive)
Watching white lines passing by
My plastic dashboard Jesus
Waiting there to greet us
Hey Hey I finally found my way
Said goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
Yeah, I'm busting loose, I'm lettin go
Out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
Hey hey, hey hey
Don't know where I'm going
But I know where I've been
I'm afraid of going back again
So I drive (drive drive)
Years and miles are flying by
And waiting there to greet us
Is my plastic dashboard Jesus
Hey Hey
Hey Hey I finally found my way
Said goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
Hell, I'm busting loose, I'm lettin go
Out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
Hey hey
hey, hey
Oh patron saint of lonely souls
Tell this boy which way to go
Guide the car, you've got the keys
Farewell to mediocrity
Kicking off the cruise control
And turning up the radio
Got just enough religion
And a half a tank of gas
Come on
Let's go
I finally found my way
Said goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
I'm busting loose, I'm lettin go
When I'm out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
Hey hey
My life is getting clearer
The sunset sighs and slowly disappears
These trinkets once were treasure
Life changes like the weather
You grow up, grow old, or you hit the road 'round here
So I drive (drive drive)
Watching white lines passing by
My plastic dashboard Jesus
Waiting there to greet us
Said goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
Yeah, I'm busting loose, I'm lettin go
Out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
Hey hey, hey hey
But I know where I've been
I'm afraid of going back again
So I drive (drive drive)
Years and miles are flying by
And waiting there to greet us
Is my plastic dashboard Jesus
Hey Hey I finally found my way
Said goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
Hell, I'm busting loose, I'm lettin go
Out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
Hey hey
hey, hey
Tell this boy which way to go
Guide the car, you've got the keys
Farewell to mediocrity
Kicking off the cruise control
And turning up the radio
Got just enough religion
And a half a tank of gas
Come on
Let's go
Said goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
I'm busting loose, I'm lettin go
When I'm out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
Hey hey

This is pretty self-explanatory. I really like it.
He has been riding on a "lost highway," ie his life has been confusing, tumultuous and he hasn't found his way.
Now he sees the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel and he's racing for it. "Hit the gas. There ain't no brakes."
There's obviously a spiritual side of it, too. He has found Jesus and is letting him guide him out of the darkness. "Guide the car, you've got the keys."
Beautiful song by a legendary rockband, sounds more mainstream than their earlier stuff though, its good to know that Jovi is going with d flow nowadays... Cheers

It's about a new beginning. Means something to me now that i will be starting a new job.
I really like this song. I agree with the people below, me, i think he has had a rough life, and maybe made some mistakes, but now he is changing it and giving his new life all he can give, by just letting go of his past and taking a new chance of life, always hitting the gas and moving forward, and not giving up and stopping.
This song makes me happy :)
Iv'e finally found my way, say goodbye to yesterday.
Says it all, When things get tough, move on man.
I Think This Album Is Alot Better Than Have A Nice Day, Its Got A Country Rock Sound To It, Which For Me Is Better Than The Pop Rock Of Have A Nice Day And Bounce. (:
Lost Highway? Bon Jovi
