Lyrics: Two wheels spinning, black asphalt Leaving the city and the concrete vault Heading out west where river mist crawls Whanganui's calling as the evening falls Hit State Highway Three, throttle pinned wide Me and the machine on a midnight ride Passed the old dairy, boarded up tight Rusty tin roof in the fading light Houses all dark, street's gone cold Everyone I knew has moved or grown old Oh, the highway keeps calling my name But the town at the end didn't stay the same Main street is quiet, the streetlights are dead With a graveyard of memories inside of my head Engine is roaring, the cold wind blows To the only ones left... where the river flows Rolled past the pub, no cars in the yard No boots on the floor, no working-class card Up Somme Parade where the headlight gleams To the graveyard edge of forgotten dreams In Aramoho under moss and the clay The only damn locals who didn't walk away Toast to the boys from the school rugby team Buried out here with an unwritten dream Wind through the pines is a familiar sound Whispering names in a forgotten town Oh, the highway keeps calling my name But the town at the end didn't stay the same Main street is quiet, the streetlights are dead With a graveyard of memories inside of my head Engine is roaring, the cold wind blows To the only ones left... where the river flows Just the ghosts and me By the dark river tree Two wheels on the road Leaving the ghosts to hold the load
