High Beam
SIGHIN' OF THE TIMES · Released 8 April 2026
Lyrics
Rolling down the open road, homeward bound, just dropped my load Shifting smoothly through the gears, driving music in my ears… All of the hours in this cabin from dawn till way past midnight because I must All of the caffeine I’ve been having keeps me going, but only just… My high beam’s like a laser light, keeps cutting through this pitch black night As it guides me true, all of the way back to you.
I put my foot down to the floor, I feel my motor’s mighty roar I ease back while she growls and purrs, this highway is all mine and hers… All of the hours in this cabin, from dawn till way past midnight because I must All of the caffeine I’ve been having keeps me going, but only just… My high beam’s like a laser light, keeps cutting through this pitch black night As it guides me true, all of the way back to you.
My high beam’s like a laser light, keeps cutting through this pitch black night I’ve got my headlights set just right (they carve the dark like a butcher’s knife) My high beam’s like a laser light, keeps cutting through this pitch black night As it guides me true, all of the way back to you.
