Privacy
Highway Tales: Battling for Sanctuary Amidst Asphalt
Lyrics
Drivin' down that highway
Embarking on a journey on the highway
In my automobile
In my car
Drivin', drivin', drivin'
Continuously driving
Got both hands on the wheel
Both hands on the wheel, emphasizing control
Got my eyes on the road
Focused on the road
Dustin' off white lines
Removing traces of a substance from the road
The man's got his eye on me
Authorities observing the speaker
And that's in invasion of my privacy
Feeling invaded due to scrutiny
It's our last form of sanctuary
The car serves as a last refuge
Behind blacked out glass
Windows are tinted for privacy
Say, who's that in there?
Questioning who is inside
That boy's drivin' much too fast
Criticism of the driver's speed
Yeah, and he's got some real fine wheels out there
Complimenting the quality of the car
I bet you paid through the nose
Assuming the car was expensive
Yeah, they're checkin' up on me
Being monitored and checked
And that's an invasion of my privacy
Expressing displeasure at the invasion of privacy
Yeah, drive
An encouraging expression to keep driving
Yeah, out in the streets--no privacy
No privacy in the streets
In my own bedroom--no privacy
No privacy even in the bedroom
On the telephone--no privacy
No privacy on the telephone
In the back of my car--no privacy
No privacy in the car
I can't get no
Expressing the inability to obtain privacy
I can't give me no
Reiterating the difficulty in getting privacy
I can't give me no privacy
Emphasizing the lack of privacy
Drivin', drivin', drivin',
Continuing to drive with personal issues on hold
Got my troubles on hold
Troubles are temporarily set aside while driving
Just drivin' down that highway
Driving down the highway
My fossil fuel's good as gold
Valuing fossil fuel as a precious resource
I'm lookin for that long lost road
Searching for a secluded road
No sign of man, no sign of life
Seeking a place devoid of human and city life
Where you can't catch me
A location where the speaker can't be reached
To invade upon my privacy
Emphasizing the desire for privacy
Oh--you can't catch me
Asserting that the speaker can't be caught
And invade upon my privacy
Reiterating the desire for privacy
Drive, drive, drive
A call to keep driving
Privacy, sanctuary
Linking driving with privacy as a sanctuary
Drive, drive, drive, drive
Repetition of the connection between driving and privacy
Privacy, sanctuary
Reinforcing the idea of driving as a sanctuary
Drive, drive, drive, drive
Continued emphasis on driving as a sanctuary
