Highwayman
Fast Lane Wanderer: A Highwayman's Journey
Lyrics
He's got no way of keepin' track
He lacks a method to keep track of things.
Of anything but his own ass
He is self-centered, concerned only about himself.
That's okay he's always there
Despite his flaws, he is consistently present.
Just pay no mind to that blank stare
Don't be bothered by his vacant expression.
Lovin' everything he sees
He finds joy in everything he observes.
And even laughing at the trees
He even finds amusement in nature, represented by trees.
He knows his life will only last
He acknowledges the finite nature of his life.
But he prefers it moving fast
He prefers a fast-paced life, accepting its brevity.
Movin'
Reinforces the idea of constant movement.
He walks the highway late at night
He walks on the highway during the late hours.
Askin' himself for a fight
He questions himself, possibly seeking confrontation.
And he'd be goin' the wrong way
He would be on the wrong path if he had a place to stay.
If he had anywhere to stay
Highlights his transient lifestyle.
Lovin' everything he sees
He continues to appreciate the world around him.
And even laughing at the trees
His laughter extends to the natural world.
He knows his life will only last
Reiterates the awareness of life's limited duration.
But he prefers it moving fast
He maintains a preference for a fast-paced existence.
Movin'
Emphasizes the theme of continuous motion.
He spends his money seein' bands
He spends his money on live music performances.
Well he don't care to have no friends
He is indifferent to forming friendships.
It's not as lonely as he'd like
His solitude is not as pronounced as he desires.
Wonderin' what it's like on ice
Contemplating the unknown, possibly referencing risky situations.
Lovin' everything he sees
Continued appreciation for the world.
And even laughing at the trees
His laughter extends to the natural world.
He knows his life will only last
Reaffirms the understanding of life's limited duration.
But he prefers it moving fast
He maintains a preference for a fast-paced existence.
Movin'
Reiterates the theme of continuous motion.
Lovin' everything he sees
Continued appreciation for the world.
And even laughing at the trees
His laughter extends to the natural world.
He knows his life will only last
Reaffirms the understanding of life's limited duration.
But he prefers it moving fast
He maintains a preference for a fast-paced existence.
Movin'
Concludes with a final emphasis on continuous motion.
