I'm taking a night drive,
I think I'm losing my nerve
On every simple straightaway,
Tell me how brave I've been
Right now I need something for the shakes
I need a road to take me home
I need to lay my burdens down
I need someone to talk to
I've seen too many bloody wrecks
Too many broken down cars
I know that highways aren't a lonesome
people are sad little gypsies
I'm probably gonna want to turn around
Right now I need something for the shakes
I need to fix the brakes,
I need a road to take me home
I need to lay my burdens down
In an understanding town, but most of all
I need someone to talk to
All the signs have lost their meaning
There's nothing on the radio
But it feels like I got 18 wheels in tow
There's always somebody in my way,
somebody trying to pass me by
somebody trying to make me cry
But right now I need something for the shakes,
I need a road to take me home,
I need to lay my burdens down
But most of all, I need someone to talk to
