Music/Lyrics: Johnny Afendras (Mr. Highway)

lyrics

Serenity is gone

Well I’m not used to talking about my life
but now I feel I cannot stop
I saw a man and I thought he had my face
I heard a preacher and I thought he had my voice
Up on a train since the moment I opened my eyes
sometimes I’m sure I’ve seen this place again
But deep in my heart there’s some courage and some hope
and certainty that these rails will never end

Feels that I’m growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore

Well here I stand in the center of the scene
with all the lights pointing right in my head
But in the dark there’s a man that can’t be seen
holding a gun with all the power of his hand
The show is over and the applause pricks my ear
the hall is empty and the man is getting bigger
He closes his eyes but serenity is gone
he laughs at me and at once he pulls the trigger

Feels that I’m growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore

Now as I lay dead upon the floor
I know my name will never be forgotten
I see that train getting lost inside the smoke
and my body being fresh instead of rotten

Feels that I’m growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore
