This one's about the hitchhiking trip St Kilda and I did and this one's about how love sucks big time.
Here are the lyrics (If you have an idea for the chorus for Highway Night, leave it in the comments).
Into the Highway Night (about our time on the road)
Into the highway night we went
Two gypsy hearts on the open road
Found a truck stop diner and
Watched the sky go dark to black
Climbed aboard a Kenworth truck
Headed east with a shy ex-con
You slept while I watched the road
Lines below and stars above
Into the highway night X4
You wrote three poems by the light of the moon
Trucks rolled in and out again,
“Are you headed east my friend?
And can you take us as far as High River?”
Into the highway night X4
Bass solo...
Next day the wind swept through us
Sunrise on a deserted road side
Played ghost as the sky caught fire
Ate apples threw rocks at road signs
That night as the campfire died I
Saw the embers paint your hair
Hoodoos watched our dreams go by
And Milk River flowed beside us
Back to the highway night...
Hardest Drug to Quit
Blurry whirling dancing one
I saw you through the smoke and gin
I knew that I was damned to you
And you were damned to me
You're the hardest drug to quit
I've tried them all so I know it's true
I've lost my mind a time or two
You're the hardest drug to quit
I pulled you by the hand away
and kissed you by the coat check girl
I'd never be so brave except
I had you running through me
Closing time, you drag me home
My bed becomes a pirate ship
With rum and smoke and maybe blood
I walk the plank into your sea
Deeper darker, the drowning man
I haven't surfaced yet
Ten years have passed and here you are
Still captain of my bed
You're the hardest drug to quit
I've tried them all so I know it's true
I've lost my mind a time or two
You're the hardest drug to quit
