Highways and Clouds Lyrics
Highways, clouds
Ain't no stopping, it's all I've gotten
As far as I've dropped in, as far as I've come
I'm from the badlands
Raised up by hard hands
You can't feel your face when
The wind makes you numb
Highways and clouds
Highways and clouds
We meet in the middle
With highways and clouds
Based Madonna
Do you wanna
Hop on my Honda
And get on the run
When you're rollin'
You lose all your schoolin'
It's all for fools man
That can't come undone
Highways and clouds
Highways and clouds
We meet in the middle
Highways and clouds
Highways and clouds
Highways and clouds
We're all lost a little
In highways and clouds
Ain't no roadmap
We lost it at Flagstaff
It's too late to turn back
There's nothing to gain
So swallow me darkness
The cruel and the heartless
Will hold to our harness
And feed from our pain
Highways and clouds
Highways and clouds
We're all lost a little In highways and clouds
Highways and clouds
Highways and clouds
We meet in the middle
Of highways
And clouds
Ain't no stopping, it's all I've gotten
As far as I've dropped in, as far as I've come
I'm from the badlands
Raised up by hard hands
You can't feel your face when
Highways and clouds
Highways and clouds
We meet in the middle
With highways and clouds
Do you wanna
Hop on my Honda
And get on the run
When you're rollin'
You lose all your schoolin'
It's all for fools man
Highways and clouds
Highways and clouds
We meet in the middle
Highways and clouds
Highways and clouds
Highways and clouds
We're all lost a little
In highways and clouds
We lost it at Flagstaff
It's too late to turn back
There's nothing to gain
So swallow me darkness
The cruel and the heartless
And feed from our pain
Highways and clouds
Highways and clouds
We're all lost a little In highways and clouds
Highways and clouds
Highways and clouds
We meet in the middle
Of highways
And clouds

The realness of this song is in your face and you have to deal with it. The songwriter doesn't realize those he's warning, (when he says: "he's not stopping"), don't have fathers to explain the ups and downs of lovey, gospel, soulster, swingers. I mean Adele, Norah, Sam Smith (getting in the middle), Rachaels and CB2's are happy to learn, but Jim Carey's gf wasn't.
The gospel message in this song is that swingers are not good fathers to singers, and that we all must look only to God as our father.

My very sympathetic advice to you to is to, "try to have fun no matter what you do."

German researchers in the early 70's found that brain scan activity taken of a person who's leg has been broken, is the exact same activity registered when a person is struggling through the emotional pain of a break up! Most fascinating of all is, breaking a bone pain is the same as heartbreak pain, heartbreak pain lasts much longer than broken leg pain! Mostly, because if we choose to...
German researchers in the early 70's found that brain scan activity taken of a person who's leg has been broken, is the exact same activity registered when a person is struggling through the emotional pain of a break up! Most fascinating of all is, breaking a bone pain is the same as heartbreak pain, heartbreak pain lasts much longer than broken leg pain! Mostly, because if we choose to use it, we now have the technology to reset a bone and the invention of anesthesia. German laboratories are always on the cutting edge of pain! As Americans, it is our duty to systematize this knowledge for our benefit, to make lemonade out of lemons x25. Remember, it's your problem, it's not other people.
Thanks Dr. Guywench save your concerned advice for someone who cares more than me about something other than cars. I'm bitter through and through.
@BeeSea0601 Your warning did not go unheeded by me! As a traveling musical reviewer, I follow troubadours as my chosen profession. I must also keep passion for their art apart from romantic yearnings, which could leave me a jaded shell of a human being, and put my music reviewing, career at risk to boot. Though I may be covered in 14th century jousting armor, troubadours and traveling musicians are well known for their ability to bypass protection in order to get a little squeeze at those throbbing organs inside our chests.

Yes. It's easy to see that Adele met her lamb over 10 years ago in Nashville, details of their long term relationship can be traced. Even the resemblance of Amos 2012 to her current husband is unmistakeable. Such an accommodating husband is confusing when listening to the lyrics of her first 3 albums. She was his Sweet Pea. Clear blue eyes was for her when after her youthful expectations of a relationship and its list of requirements flew away with Sam Smith, who can be heard singing his hopes of love dashed. Musical scores, tinkling pianos, guitar virtuosos traveling around making beautiful music together, is the project everyone follows morning and night. All you have to do is read the lyrics his lovers wrote to know whether or not you want the same. You can look to any lyric from anytime to know what to expect.
Sam Cooke left a trail of broken hearts and fatherless children. And did many others, when their lifestyle led them out. But Bill Withers, John Prine, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan (father figures to Amos), appear in his songs as well. "Give It All Up For You" is an ode to Bill Withers. "Stranger" has John Prine's Paradise contained within. (I was there when John Prine handed Amos his guitar to sing his song Paradise on stage. A precious song about the care a father shows his son.) I could go on and on. All this pondering in search for his own real father, as they all sing into the sunset, is what we can expect from the him and all his friends.
Here on the Internet, we have responsibility to record the truth! When I was in the war, I promise you this, the worst thing that could happen to man, was to be called a liar. My devotion to my wife is real, and I hope I'm not ever swept up in the turmoil of musical storm, hearts ripped out of chests to be eaten with glee. Clouds carry thunder and rain, and highways take me away daily from my loving wife. But the temptation is strong, to throw it all to the wind just for a spin, if ever I heard the call. Just kidding Lois, keep the fire burning, I'm coming home!
