I’m hugging a pillow
But I wish I had my arms around you
The road winds around a mountain
And I enjoy the never-ending view
The farthest peak seems so far
But you’re beyond them still
And if I could drive that distance, I would
But a car will never get me there

I’m listening to the mix tape I made
Between the road, tires, and my mind, a serenade
The symphony of rubber meets asphalt
The harmony of driving without halt
They all intertwine to form a musical epic
And I’m living in that moment
Because it’s the only one there will ever be.
And it’s along the way to destiny.

The wheel and my stomach turn
Along these back roads and high hopes
The tachometer becomes my time piece
And it ticks away as I dream
With both hands on the wheel, I’m not moving
But everything around me is whirling by
And I see the exit out of the corner of my eye

Big green signs dot my highway
And display names of places that I’ve never been
To meet names and faces that I’ve never seen
And I’d do that, on my stop for dinner
But I’d only stay for a little while
Wanting to get back on the road; on my way
Seatbelt fastened and ready to drive
Moving like the dead, but feeling so alive.

I was driving in the car the other day and I heard a commercial for HD radio.  I remember hearing about these things years ago and thought for sure they’d go the way of the Betamax.  why would anyone want HD radio?  What’s wrong with normal radio?  Why are all these “extra stations” not on normal radio?  Why would anyone want to buy a new HD radio if they could get satellite radio?  I expected HD radio to go away, but apparently it’s still around, although I’ve never met anyone who had ever been in a car with one, let alone owned one themselves.
