I ride the long, dark highway   Sign says, 'Keep to the right'   I ride the long, dark highway   In the cool black of the night      I know things have got to   Get better when I get there   'Cause anywhere is   Better than here      Anywhere is better than here   And where I'm going, boy, I don't really care   'Cause I've been there and I'll be there again   But tonight anywhere is better than here   With you in my sight      I'm ridin' fast and low   With his memory right behind   There's a new life waitin' for me   And I'm gonna make it mine      And I don't care   If the sun don't shine out there   'Cause anywhere is   Better than here      Anywhere is better than here   And where I'm going, boy, I don't really care   'Cause I've been there and I'll be there again   But tonight anywhere is better than here   With you in my sight      And I've never felt so strong and alive   Then to pack up, leave you and drive      I ride the long, dark highway   The dawn is coming, I see the light   And if I start all over this time   This time I'll get it right      Don't ask me where I'm going   When you don't really care   'Cause anywhere   Is better than here      Anywhere is better than here   And where I'm going, boy, I don't really care   'Cause I've been there and I'll be there again   But tonight anywhere is better than here   With you in my sight      Tonight, tonight
