Ghost on Highway 90
Ghost on Highway 90
Ghost on Highway 90
[verse]
I'm a ghost on Highway 90, east of 59,
Addiction creeping close, trying to claim what's mine,
Each mile's a battlefield, fighting demons inside,
Loneliness my shadow, got me twisted in my mind.
Hustling hard, every penny, blood and grind,
Eyes on the asphalt, never looking behind,
Messages blowing up, friends left on red,
In this solitary cage, trying to get ahead.
[Chorus]
On this lonely road, I’m just trying to survive,
Haunted by the past, but I’m still alive.
Fighting through the darkness, searching for the light,
East of 59, I’m holding on tight.
[verse]
Nights get colder, heart feels like stone,
Isolation’s a prison but it's all I’ve ever known,
Mixing pills with pain, nights never seem to fade,
East of 59, I stay in my own lane.
Grime under my nails, sweat dripping on the page,
Life's an endless loop, I'm just trapped in this rage,
Silent on my phone, friends think I'm gone,
But I’m here, just struggling, trying to hold on.
[Chorus]
On this lonely road, I’m just trying to survive,
Haunted by the past, but I’m still alive.
Fighting through the darkness, searching for the light,
East of 59, I’m holding on tight
