I Keep Driving

I Keep Driving Driving down a county road No lights for miles The darkness surrounds me There are no trees or fields Even the flowers hide from the moon Animals step into my headlights Then they flee off into nothing The radio stations died miles back There is nothing but static There are no headlights behind me No tail lights in front of me I have seen a few stop sign and mile markers The only proof that there is anyone else I don't know why this road keeps going on Maybe I died and an endless road is Satan's gift I will keep driving ahead Listening to the stones fly from my wheels This is my own private hell No music and no one to talk to The clouds glow ahead of me Lighted by the glow of a distant city It is a mere glimmer of hope So close but still so far away For now I drive through the darkness Straining my eyes to see one familiar landmark More than just a glowing cloud There is nothing Still I keep driving on into the darkness I just hope that soon there will be some light I just keep driving

Reads like a good description of Rt. 95 between Las Vegas and Reno in Nevada.
