Standing on a highway
Pacing in the snow
Slamming my fists on my stalled and frozen car
No money for a phone call
No credit for a tow
Can't turn back now because I've come too far
Standing on the highway
Not knowing where to turn
Just like I've done so many times before
I always see the warning signs
And still I never learn
To recognize that old familiar road
All alone
In the middle of nowhere
My calls for help
Unanswered in the night
I took a wrong turn
That I can't set right
I'm taking the hard road again
Staring at the windshield
Fresh with winter frost
Inside the car is totally obscured
Nowhere I can run to
When I'm standing here so lost
Frozen on that old familiar road
All alone
In the middle of nowhere
I should have been
A little more prepared
I should have been more cautious
But what good is "should have been"
I'm taking the hard road again
No one to blame but myself for how things are
But it's easier to blame it on the car
Maybe it's the fault of some higher power
Or maybe I'm just
All alone
In the middle of nowhere
The highway stretches off into the dark
I button up my coat
And begin to walk
I'm taking the hard road again
