Although the road takes its toll

I look up and see the stars ahead

Their light is my only goal

They quiet my fears instead

Of denying the path I've led

And where I must go

I cower at the miles I've sped

Road kill beneath my tires

Only the dead can know

How convenient my excuses

For my excess speed

I'll pay in another life

But for the end of this day

I'm at peace with

Devils on my way

I'll continue meandering on

Until the break of dawn

When the next road stop

Rears its weary head

Then, I'll lie down

And recount to you

All my wicked sin

All the battles

I chose to fight

But didn't win

When you're asleep

And the day is done

When the moon sneaks

Past surrendering sun

I'll be on my way again

Free, with only me

And the endless road

As my faithless friend
