Strangers on the Highway

[Verse] I was rollin' down the highway in my big ol' 18 wheeler, Saw a fella by the shoulder, lookin' like he wasn't feelin', Out of gas and out of luck, his thumb up in the air, Just another stranger in the rearview, I kept on travelin' there. [Verse 2] His face was worn and weary, boots covered in the dust, Truckers passin' by him, in their big rigs ridin' trust, I had a load to get to Dallas, couldn't spare a second thought, But in my heart, that stranger's memory got caught. [Chorus] Strangers on the highway, miles to go alone, Ain't a second glance, with so much unknown, Life's a journey, hard and rough, Sometimes you leave behind, those who had it tough. [Verse 3] Radio playin' classic tunes, Merle and old Hank, Tried to shake the image, turned to thoughts of fillin’ tanks, What would it cost to spare a mile? Lift him past his sorrow? But all I did was drive on by, thinkin' 'bout tomorrow. [Chorus] Strangers on the highway, miles to go alone, Ain't a second glance, with so much unknown, Life's a journey, hard and rough, Sometimes you leave behind, those who had it tough. [Bridge] Years down this endless road, still see his face, Wonder if he's travelin' too or found a safer place, Each mile a reminder, we all need a helping hand, When I pass those strangers by, I question where I stand.
