Miles to go , miles behind
Signifies a journey with both progress ("miles to go") and reflection on the past ("miles behind").
Hitting the road
Beginning the travel or journey.
No sad goodbyes
Leaving without expressing sorrow or regrets.
Foot on the gas
Accelerating, starting the drive enthusiastically.
Cmon let’s ride
Inviting someone to join the journey.
Putting troubles aside
Choosing to ignore or set aside worries or problems.
Chorus

Continuing the action of moving forward.
On moving

I’m a highway child
Declaring the persona as someone deeply connected to the highway or the road.
Verse 2
Beginning of the second verse.
I can’t just stay still

More to see , gotta get my fill
Desire for new experiences and a sense of completion.
Can’t do the 9-5
Rejecting a traditional work routine.
Gotta travel to feel alive
Emphasizing the need to travel to feel vibrant and engaged with life.
Gotta go it’s a green light
Indicating a readiness to proceed, following a traffic signal metaphorically.
Had my fun so I’m gone tonight
Having had a good time but deciding to leave for new adventures.
Who knows what’s ahead
Expressing uncertainty about the future.
Home is where I lay my head
Defining home as wherever one rests, irrespective of location.
