Analysis of The Lonely Highway
Take a walk down the Lonely Highway
There you'll find your peace of mind
Make your way down the path not taken
Who knows what you'll find?
In solitude within myself on a warm and breezy night
doubts and fears seem to clear
And it makes me feel alright
When people hurt my feelings
And there seems to be no love in sight
And when my head is full of mystification
I must journey the passages of the night
Travel down an unknown passage
Who knows what you'll find?
Make your way down a secluded pathway
And there you'll find your paradise
