lyrics
Balanced between the sand and the sea
Trying to comprehend what has happened to me
I don't like the sun and I don't like the waves
I really hate the billboard where Pacifica Dodge saves me more
I thought only Jesus saves
And raises us up from our graves
And sets us free from being slaves to our pain
I'd best start again
I've run out of road and I've run out of land
I guess my only option is to swim to Japan
But if it's for sure that I've come to an end
I've got another choice because the bridge is just ten minutes north
And the water's dark and deep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
But I won't make my mama weep for her son
After all that I've done
Ooooh, Great Highway
A Frisbee floats by with a Golden in chase
There's shiny happy people all over the place
Adorable girl dips her toes in the foam
Everybody here is such a long way from home but I know
When they're done here they'll just go back
They all have something that I lack
Along the way I got off track
Ooooh, Great Highway...
Down in the dunes they're shooting a girl
And I can't look away
She arches her back and tosses her curls
And though it's such a perfect day
They've brought all kinds of lights and stuff
As if the sun weren't bright enough
Watching them is much too tough cos I see
There's nothing more there for me
It starts to get hazy what's all gone before
The end of the beginning's taken place on this shore
I'm feeling so light like I'm floating above
I'd prob'ly fly away if you gave me one good shove and I smile
I think I finally understand
I've cut my tether to this land
It strikes that there's no demand that I stay
And so I'm on my way
Trying to comprehend what has happened to me
I don't like the sun and I don't like the waves
I really hate the billboard where Pacifica Dodge saves me more
I thought only Jesus saves
And raises us up from our graves
And sets us free from being slaves to our pain
I'd best start again
I've run out of road and I've run out of land
I guess my only option is to swim to Japan
But if it's for sure that I've come to an end
I've got another choice because the bridge is just ten minutes north
And the water's dark and deep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
But I won't make my mama weep for her son
After all that I've done
Ooooh, Great Highway
A Frisbee floats by with a Golden in chase
There's shiny happy people all over the place
Adorable girl dips her toes in the foam
Everybody here is such a long way from home but I know
When they're done here they'll just go back
They all have something that I lack
Along the way I got off track
Ooooh, Great Highway...
Down in the dunes they're shooting a girl
And I can't look away
She arches her back and tosses her curls
And though it's such a perfect day
They've brought all kinds of lights and stuff

It strikes that there's no demand that I stay
And so I'm on my way
