The skies were pure and the fields were green

And the sun was brighter than its ever been

When I grew up with my best friend kenny

We were close as any brothers than you ever knew

It was always summer and the future called

We were ready for adventures and we wanted them all

And there was so much left to dream and so much time to make it real

But I can still recall the sting of all the tears when he was gone

They said he crashed and burned

I know Ill never learn why any boy should die so young

We were racing we were soldiers of fortune

We got in trouble but we sure got around

There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark

I think hes right behind me now and hes gaining ground

But it was long ago and it was far away oh God it seems so very far

And if life is just a highway then the soul is just a car

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And when the sun descended and the night arose

I heard my father cursing everyone he knows

He was dangerous and drunk and defeated

And corroded by failure and envy and hate

There were endless winters and the dreams would freeze

Nowhere to hide and no leaves on the trees

And my fathers eyes were blank as he hit me again and again and again

I know I still believe hed never let me leave I had to run away alone

So many threats and fears so many wasted years before my life became

My own

And though the nightmares should be over

Some of the terrors are still intact

Ill hear that ugly coarse and violent voice

And then he grabs me from behind and then he pulls me back

But it was long ago and it was far away oh God it seems so very far

And if life is just a highway then the soul is just a car

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

There was a beauty living on the edge of town

And she always put the top up and the hammer down

And she taught me everything Ill ever know

About the mystery and the muscle of love

The stars would glimmer and the moon would glow

Im in the back seat with my julie like a romeo

And the signs along the highway all said caution kids at play

Those were the rights of spring and we did everything

There was salvation every night

We got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn

But everything we tried was right

She used her body just like a bandage

She used my body just like a wound

Ill probably never know where she disappeared

But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now

Just like an angel rising up from a tomb

But it was long ago and it was far away oh God it seems so very far

And if life is just a highway then the soul is just a car

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

She used her body just like a bandage

She used my body just like a wound

Ill probably never know where she disappeared

But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now
