    Verse 1
    I 
    grew 

    where 
    I 
    was planted 

    But 
    I never 
    felt 
    at 
    home 

    My 
    head 
    was 
    filled 
    with questions 

    And my 
    feet 
    fell 
    on 
    their 
    own 

    My 
    arms 
    reached 
    out 
    like 
    branches 

    But my 
    heart 
    just 
    couldn't 
    stay 

    I 
    left 
    the moment 
    that 
    I could 

    A 
    prisoner 
    of 
    the high
    way 

    Verse 2

    I 
    passed 
    by 
    farms 
    and 
    trailers 

    As 
    I drove 
    through 
    little 
    towns 

    I found 
    trouble 
    in 
    the city 

    I never 
    set 
    my 
    suitcase 
    down 

    And 
    in 
    those 
    empty 
    alleys 

    Where re
    taining 
    walls 
    de
    cay 

    I 
    just 
    kept 
    a-movin' 

    As 
    As 
    a prisoner 
    of 
    the high
    way 

    Verse 3
    Ooh, 
    ooh 

    And 
    I don't 
    know 
    where 
    I'm headed 

    Oo
    h, ooh, oo
    h 

    And 
    I don't 
    know 
    where 
    it 
    ends 

    Verse 4

    Well 
    the 
    wind 
    it 
    felt 
    like 
    freedom 

    As it 
    whipped 
    through my 
    hair 

    I was 
    everywhere, 
    and everyone 

    I was 
    nobody, 
    and nowhere 

    Well 
    the map 
    was 
    written 
    on 
    my 
    hand 

    And in 
    my 
    DNA 

    I 
    be
    lieve 
    that 
    I 
    was 
    meant 
    to 
    be 

    A 
    prisoner 
    of 
    the high
    way 

    Verse 5

    Had 
    chains 
    around 
    my 
    ankles 

    Handcuffs 
    on 
    my 
    wrists 

    I 
    was 
    haunted 
    by 
    decisions 

    And the 
    simple 
    things 
    I missed 

    Dear 
    God, 
    why 
    do 
    I wander? 

    Why was 
    I born 
    this 
    way? 

    And 
    I prayed 
    He 
    would 
    release 
    me 

    As 
    a prisoner 
    of 
    the high
    way 

    Verse 6
    Oo
    h, 
    ooh 

    And 
    I don't 
    know 
    where 
    I'm 
    headed 

    Oo
    h, ooh, oo
    h 

    And I 
    don't 
    know 
    where 
    it 
    ends 

    Interlude 1
    Hey 



    Verse 7
    I 
    sacrificed 
    my 
    family 

    Sacrificed 
    true 
    love 

    I 
    sacrificed 
    my 
    unborn 
    child 

    To the 
    heaven's 
    up 
    above 

    Oh, 
    there 
    was 
    not 
    a limit 

    To 
    those 
    I 
    would 
    be
    tray 

    Oh, 
    I 
    was 
    deep 
    down 
    in it 

    As 
    a prisoner 
    of 
    the highway 


    Verse 8
    I 
    just 
    kept 
    a-movin' 

    As 
    As 
    a pris
    oner 
    of 
    the highway (highway)

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
