Of the many places I’ve found peace
Undoubtedly one of the best
Where my wandering soul was at rest
Is the highway between Canberra and Sydney
Where the steel of my vehicle and the steel of my soul
Kept the cruelty of the world at bay
Hours of pure concentration
The sweetest kind of meditation
A feeling of purpose, excitement and skill
As I anticipated the joys of my destination
And navigate traffic never missing a beat
A special time for reflection
A chance to plot my life’s direction
As I mulled over the choices in life
And finished my journeys on a path that’s true
Nothing compares to the freedom
As the city lights give way to the open road
And I know
I’ll reach my goal a better man
Than when I set out’
And where would I be
Without the tunes that cradle my spirit
As I pull out of a truck stop
Sipping coffee, my soul dancing
Modern Life Is War
So I’m grateful for
That gift of
Those fine moments of peace on the highway
