Travelling next to a Western Star

On a four-lane highway heading North

Spending more time in fifth gear this year than my own bed

And how can I know where I’m meant to be

If I don’t let the highway let me see?

For now, I’ve just got to follow where I’m led

Follow where I’m led

As I’m driving through all these little country towns

Yeah, the water tastes different on my tongue

And I know back home I’ll make my mum and dad proud

But for now, I’m on the highway A1

Where I grew up, there were no such thing as traffic lights

And the seasons just came in pairs

We had the wet season, and then it was the dry one

That’s all changed now, and I’ll just be

Travelling next to a Western Star

On a four-lane highway heading North

Spending more time in fifth gear this year than my own bed

And how can I know where I’m meant to be

If I don’t let the highway let me see?

For now, I’ve just got to follow where I’m led

Follow where I’m led

Yeah, the travelling is making my life interesting

Where long distance holds a space in between love

And I’ve got a bittersweet relation with the internet

But it helps me stay connected up the coast

And this six string and I have had some bonding time

In fact, several hundred kilometres a day

Maybe I’ll keep on writing songs from my hotel room

Where four cylinders and I will just be

Travelling next to a Western Star

On a four-lane highway heading North

Spending more time in fifth gear this year than my own bed

And how can I know where I’m meant to be

If I don’t let the highway let me see?

For now, I’ve just got to follow where I’m led

And keep travelling next to a Western Star

On a four-lane highway heading North

Spending more time in fifth gear this year than my own bed

And how can I know where I’m meant to be

If I don’t let the highway let me see?

For now, I’ve just got to follow where I’m led

And how can I know where I’m meant to be

If I don’t let the highway let me see?

For now, I’ve just got to follow where I’m led
