Lyrics

Highway 41

Lately I don’t recognize you
Fires burnin in the city streets
Ebb and flowin’ the tide is changing
It doesn’t mean that much to me

Now we’re back in the USA
Holding on to the American dream
Land of the free, home of the brave
Driving on Highway 41
Coming down the mountain
When she comes

You could see it coming from a mile away
But you can’t slow down
When you’re in the the fast lane
Worried minds, sleepless nights
There’s a long long road ahead
So hold on tight

Now we’re back in the USA
Holding on to the American dream
Land of the free, home of the brave
Holding on, holding on
Back in the USA
Stars and Stripes on a midnight road
Land of the free, home of the brave
Driving on Highway 41

How can you be so beautiful
How can you be so cold
We pull it together then we tear it apart
Around and around we go

Now we’re back in the USA
Holding on to the American dream
Land of the free, home of the brave
Holding on, holding on
Back in the USA
Stars and Stripes on a midnight road
Land of the free, home of the brave
Driving on Highway 41
Comin down the mountain
When she comes
