Long Hard Road - Kevin Johnson

All the airports seem alike

Check your bags, check your flight

They send you on your way

Passports and security

Magazines and duty free

Are friends along the way

You have your dream

She has her own

But why does it always seem that your dreams, are found such a long way from

home

All the runways seem alike

They’re only decoys shining bright

To lead you away

They take you racing through the night

Till there’s an end in sight

Then they speed you away

You have your window

She has her own

And out through the dark somewhere, The lights of her window are calling you

back home

Night rider, night rider

The sky is a lonely highway

Of lost dreams, and promises

And things that you meant to say

Higher and higher

The night finds a thousand ways

To travel your worldly voyages

While the world is a long way away

And all the jumbos seem alike

When you’ve been up there on a night flight

For a few hours or more

The movie’s over and the lights are low

And there’s nothing much on the stereo

You’ve heard it all before

But you have your window

And for reasons unknown

Out through the darkest night

You can always see things clearer than back home

Night rider, night rider

The sky is a lonely highway

Of lost dreams, and promises

And things that you meant to say

Higher and higher

The night finds a thousand ways

To travel your worldly voyages

While the world is a long way away
