Edge of the Highway

from The Lonely Road to Hel by Uncle Hauk

/

lyrics

Smells like cigarettes and desperation
Tastes like cold sweat and frustration
Dreaming of a better time it’s true
Dreaming that I wasn’t desperate too

Looks like we made a mistake coming home
Feels like we worked our fingers to the bone
Dreaming that we were better off than this
Dreaming that we weren’t all staring into the abyss

They say you can’t escape
The hand of fate
Burning up the edge of the highway
At least that’s what I’m told
Cut me from the tapestry
I’m already free
I burned out on the edge of the highway
Looking for a heart of gold

Seems like we were always on the run
Feels like spinning circles round the sun
Dreaming that we were a million miles away
Dreaming nothing stood in our way

They say you can’t escape
The hand of fate
Burning up the edge of the highway
At least that’s what I’m told
Cut me from the tapestry
I’m already free
I burned out on the edge of the highway
Looking for a heart of gold

They said that things would change, that things would start to get better
They said that they could even predict the changing weather
They told us every lie that they could think of
But I didn’t believe one word
I didn’t believe one word they said

Uncle Hauk Los Angeles, California

Almost every artist bio begins with grandiose acclamation, saying that the artist is the greatest and best thing ever.

Too country for metal, too heavy for country, too punk for folk, too folk for punk, and always in your face. ... more
