Love - I’m Driving The Highway At Night Poem by Paul Warren

I’m alone in the night on the road
I’m carrying such a heavy load
I remember the good times with you
I was a fool to think they were through
With only the full moon shining in the sky
Thoughts of you bring a tear to my eye

I’m driving the highway at night
Just heading toward the distant light
I know with a second chance it will last
There are mistakes I have made in the past

The Southern Cross is a beacon up ahead
Makes me think of the tears that I’ve shed
I know I was wrong to let you go now
It hurts so much when I now wonder how
I could have left and gone on alone
How could I have I should have known

I’m driving the highway at night
Just heading toward the distant light
I know with a second chance it will last
There are mistakes I have made in the past

I’m so lonely now that you’re gone
How can I now without you carry on?
The road has twisted on up ahead
With each mile away from you I did dread
Why did I think that I’d last long without you?
I hope that you still feel that way too

I’m driving the highway at night
Just heading toward the distant light
I know with a second chance it will last
There are mistakes I have made in the past

I have crossed the hot desert alone without you
And in the mountains while the cold winds blew
I am through the pass and I see the town light
Why don’t you answer your phone tonight?
Please forgive me, I was wrong to leave you then
Is that the phone ringing - my love please comprehend

I’m driving the highway at night
Just heading toward the distant light
I know with a second chance it will last
There are mistakes I have made in the past
