Lyrics

A Star Above The Highway (from the album A Star Above The Highway)
-words and music by Ryan Sheeler (2015)

VERSE 1
I-80 Westbound lane The months turn like pages to December
Christmas in the headlights shinin' like the present he forgot to remember
Take the on-ramp to another life and come back around
Just in time to be home - What he thought he'd lost, he found

CHORUS
There was a star above the highway; couldn't hide from the light
maybe there's a reason he's driving home tonight
The season's only promise brought the memory to light
(There's a) star above the highway; love comes home tonight

VERSE 2
Did he fall asleep at the wheel and drive all that way?
The endless highways sure make for a lonely holiday
The is the only job he ever knew, out on the road somewhere
though he's payin' bills for the family when he'd rather be at home

BRIDGE
His Faith never did have wheels
just a book and a few half-hearted prayers
Now he'll find it's all he needs to make it back there.

SOLO - CHORUS - TAG - END
