Sorry about the crummy video. I didn't have good lighting at this show. Audio is good, though.

Lyrics:

I like how the steering wheel is firm under my hand
I like how the headlights cut across the shadow land
I like how your voice is low and breathless in my ear
I like that it’s cold outside but warm in here

Surrounded by this highway, we’re at the speed of light
Baby, let’s drive all night

I like how your features soften in the dashboard glow
I like how your body settles underneath your clothes
I like how the rhythm of the wheels against the road
Quickens with my heart, I don’t wanna drive slow

Surrounded by this highway, we’re at the speed of light
Baby, let’s drive all night

Your hand on my shoulder
Then slides up through my hair
We are rushing forward
I’ll take you anywhere

Surrounded by this highway, we’re at the speed of light
Baby, let’s drive all night

From a 2025 Tucson performance

Lyrics:

Still got my first guitar, it’s hanging on my wall
Missing a couple strings, can’t play it at all
50 years ago I took it from my dad
Taught myself to play, formed my first band
Playing for hours in my room, jamming with friends all afternoon

(chorus)

I’ll never play at the Opry or Carnegie Hall
Still I thank that guitar on the wall
It gave me joy, gave me music, it was fun to do
Best of all, I get to play for you

I learned a lot, like going to school
Playing for folks who’d rather drink and play pool
First tour in ’87, driving my little truck
Sometimes I’d make a hundred, sometimes 20 bucks
Gas money and a place to sleep was good enough for me (to chorus)

I earn a little more money these days
Mostly teaching, still I get to play
My students see that old guitar on the wall
I tell them, “That’s what started it all” (to chorus)

Did you attend this year's National Women's Music Festival? Be sure to fill out the evaluation they recently sent. It'll come from whova.io Even if you didn't go this year, you can write to their general address and tell them you're planning to attend next year and what you enjoy at the festival. I've got a new album coming out early next year and I'd love to sing those songs at the 2026 festival. Does it help if I tell you I'll bring the hula hoop? PS I play guitar too.Photo below is from the festival a few years ago. I'm playing with Crys Matthews. ... See MoreSee Less
