Highway Don't Care
Samantha Vaga Lyrics

Bet your window's rolled down and your hair's pulled back
You seem carefree and reckless, with the wind blowing through your hair as you speed down the highway.

And I bet you got no idea you're going way too fast
You're not paying attention to your speed and may not realize the danger you're putting yourself in.

You're trying not to think about what went wrong
You're avoiding your problems and focusing on escaping them by driving fast.

You're trying not to stop 'til you get where you're goin'
You're determined to keep driving, no matter how far, until you reach your destination.

You're trying to stay awake so I bet you turn on the radio
To combat fatigue, you turn up the music and try to stay alert.

I can't live without you, I can't live without you, baby
The song on the radio is a love song expressing how the singer cannot imagine living without their significant other.

The highway won't hold you tonight
The highway is just a cold, hard road and won't offer you any comfort or safety.

The highway don't know you're alive
The road doesn't care if you live or die, it's just a path to get from one place to another.

The highway don't care if you're all alone
The road is indifferent to the fact that you're driving alone and may be feeling lonely or vulnerable.

But I do, I do
The singer cares about you and your safety, and wishes you were with them instead of out on the road alone.

The highway won't dry your tears
The road won't help you cope with any emotional turmoil or pain you may be feeling.

The highway don't need you here
The road doesn't care if you decide to turn around and go back home, or keep driving endlessly in any direction.

The highway don't care if you're coming home
The road doesn't care if you have a destination or a purpose for your journey.

But I do, I do
The singer cares about you and hopes you're safe and happy, wherever you may be heading.

I bet you got a dead cell phone in your shot gun seat
Your phone is probably dead and you have no way to communicate with the outside world if you run into trouble.

Yeah, I bet you're bending God's ear talking about me
You may be praying or talking to God about your situation, and the singer wonders if you're thinking about them too.

You're trying not to let the first tear fall out
You're struggling to keep your emotions in check and avoid crying as you drive.

You're trying not to think about turning around
You're trying to stay focused on your destination and avoid thinking about going back home.

You're trying not to get lost in the sound
You don't want to become too absorbed in the music and forget your surroundings while driving.

The highway don't care
The road is an inanimate object and cannot have any emotions or concern for your well-being.

But I do, I do...
The singer cares about you deeply and wishes they could be there to offer comfort and support.
