lyrics

Dark Highway

Down a country ass road in the dead of night
You can drive a hundred miles and never see a light
Just a howlin' black hole punctuated by the glow
Of 500 pairs* of hellified eyes

And your high beams will only go so far
Beyond that, God only knows
At least if you're not from here
Which is clear, since you're driving so slow

Dark highway, you go your way
Baby, I'll go mine

We've got red smears from dead deer
To no avail, this vale of tears
No plastic flower bouquet
There until the end of days
Collecting diesel dust by the speed limit sign
In the good old summertime

Passing souls from lane to lane
No signal to make their intentions plain
Least of all for the eyes of men to see
Passing souls that took their leave
On they roll, invisible and free

Arkansas becomes Missouri
My longing heart is neither here nor there
Through a flurry of bug gut glory
In the oncoming dirty headlight glare
Dirty looks from small town eyes
Baked cicadas unwind and rewind
There goes the time

Dark Highway, you go your way
Baby, I'll go mine




* "For the night has a thousand eyes"

Scott Hrabko Kansas City, Missouri

Kansas City's Scott Hrabko is an independent singer/songwriter who has followed his own mercurial muse since the town's late- 80s indie rock scene.

“Hrabko’s rootsy songs are filled with trap doors, hidden nooks, and secret passageways. They’re like those dreams within comfortably familiar houses that suddenly have brand new rooms.”
Mike Warren - No Depression ... more
