Anyone who meets me knows I love music. I love all types… ummm okay I love most types of music. For me its about the lyrics and what it is the artist is talking about or what message they are trying to convey. I love to dissect a song and its lyrics completely. Every Monday I want to post a song that either inspires me, makes me think about the world we live in, motivates me to always be who I am or may be something I was feeling at some point. It will be a great mix of different types of music and hope it will also do the same for you. I love to think that music captures what so many of us may be feeling or want to say, but don’t know how.
SONG – On My Highway
ARTIST – Jason Aldean
LYRICS –
On my highway the yellow lines,
Have disappeared from time to time,
And I’ve wound up on the wrong side of the road,
On my highway I’ve gone to fast,
Afraid that I might finish last,
I hooked a curve too hard and lost control,
Oh I never know which way it’s gonna go,
(Chorus)
But what a feeling chasing the sun,
Living my life like it’s shot from a gun,
Laughing a little bit more with every mile,
Oh what a freedom racing the wind,
Dieing to know whats around the next bend,
And smiling as I watch the years roll by,
I’m learning how to take it day by day on my highway,
On my highway I missed some signs,
And left a damn good love behind,
I see her in my rear view like a ghost,
On my highway I’ve broken down,
And cried when no one else was around,
And prayed that God would save my soul,
Ya I’ve paid a lot of heavy tolls,
(Chorus)
Yeah Yeah,
What a feeling out on the run,
Drinking up the rain soaking up the sun,
Laughing a little bit more with ever mile,
Oh what a freedom like a sail in the wind,
Not looking back not forgetting where I’ve been,
Smiling as I watch the years roll by,
I’m moving on from my mistakes,
And I’m learning how to take it day by day,
On my highway,
Oh oh yeah.
LISTEN TO IT HERE – Jason Aldean – On My Highway
WHY I PICKED IT – Easy this song is me 100%… I am ON MY HIGHWAY. Aren’t we all… I mean life is our HIGHWAY. Right? When I listen to this song I think of me… and how my life has been so far. The song starts off with
“On my highway the yellow lines, Have disappeared from time to time, And I’ve wound up on the wrong side of the road,” This talks about the mistakes I have made in my life. Most of all to me this is talking about my DWI and when I got in trouble with the law.
“On my highway I’ve gone to fast, Afraid that I might finish last, I hooked a curve too hard and lost control, Oh I never know which way it’s gonna go,” This talks about loosing control of my life for a while not sure what way it was going to go.
“But what a feeling chasing the sun, Living my life like it’s shot from a gun, Laughing a little bit more with every mile, Oh what a freedom racing the wind, Dieing to know whats around the next bend, And smiling as I watch the years roll by, I’m learning how to take it day by day on my highway,” Ahhh and the chorus well thats my life now… I love the feeling of chasing the sun, living it like it is from a shot gun going anywhere anytime… the freedom of racing the wind and serioulsy dyeing to see the next place I am going to visit. All along I am learning how to take it day by day. I have had my ups and my downs, but I am smiling as I see the time fly by.
Seriously take a moment and listen to this song… it’s about life its about our life no matter what you are doing, working, traveling, being a father or mother… we live and we learn on OUR HIGHWAY. Yes sometimes we make mistakes but we live and we learn.
