Highway Lyrics by Illy

Two Degrees

2016

[Chorus (Extended)]
Da, da-da, da-da
I'ma pack my bags, head straight for the highway
With the radio on, and my favourite song, singin'
Da, da-da, da-da
And the story 'bout love same one about heartbreak
And when I'm gone
I won't ever look back, no, I never look back, like
I'ma pack my bags, head straight for the highway
With the radio on, and my favourite song, singin'
Da, da-da, da-da
And the story 'bout love same one about heartbreak
And when I'm gone
I won't ever look back, no, I never look back, no

[Verse 1: Illy]
Now I know there's no fury like scorn but I'm bored
Past well-worn streets and same old haunts
Long forgotten storms, like one day it just dawned
That it's gone, kids grew up and moved on
Tired of the dead ends, cycles that we get in
See their whole lives play titles to the credits
Imagine if over horizons our repentance
Tonight we gon' find out, fire up the engines
As I ride the line between infamy and legendary
Dunno how it ends but this'll be my legacy
Son of the forefathers and it's hereditary
But truth is, there ain't much in this town left for me
As the empire fall to a fucked-up place
The runaway still allergic to pumpin' brakes
As long as nothing sacred, nothing safe
Left in the hands of my fate, like my, my, my

[Chorus]
Like da, da-da, da-da
I'ma pack my bags, head straight for the highway
With the radio on, and my favourite song, singin'
Da, da-da, da-da
And the story 'bout love same one about heartbreak
And when I'm gone
I won't ever look back, no, I never look back, no

[Verse 2]
And it's a cold world, no fate but the one we make
We come of age and stumble onto change
Now I'm a young man, but that "mad at the world"
An even younger man's game, have fun in that lane
Shit, I did my time here, but the love for that fades
And I ain't hangin' around to grow jaded
Top-down, motor clickin' over on the pavement
And I don't know owe a cent, a second or explanation
Nah, I'm ghost, trail of dust to the sunset
What was once give way, to what come next?
'Cause boys do what boys gon' do
Old timers mad, like they weren't the boys once too
But I'll leave that for you, what is and ain't real
Hard to let go, but harder to stay still
So both hands on the wheel wherever life steer us
The rear-view mirror never looked clearer

[Bridge]
I'm on my way
Life pass too quick, you could blink, it fade, so
I'm on my way
On a hope and a prayer, look how far we came, so
I'm on my way
Before my tomorrows, my yesterdays
I ain't leavin' wonderin', these are risks you take
Switch lanes, hit the gas, press play, all-day
Like

[Chorus]
Like da, da-da, da-da
I'ma pack my bags, head straight for the highway
With the radio on, and my favourite song, singin'
Da, da-da, da-da
And the story 'bout love same one about heartbreak
And when I'm gone
I won't ever look back, no, I never look back, no

[Outro]
I pack my bag, headed straight to the highway
With a radio on, and my favourite song, singin'
The story 'bout love same one about heartbreak
And when I'm gone
I won't ever look back, no, I never look back, no
