Life is a highway ...

And I do want to drive it all night long. What is it about a road that's so inviting?

Driving home from a night out (especially if it's raining), I feel such a strong desire to just keep driving - not to get away from what I'm going home to, but to see what's out there. The idea of the road stretching out before me, black pavement and the lights at the side of the road and the lights of the businesses you pass, going on as far as the eye can see - it's enticing.

It's not just the highways, either. Every day I drive by streets and wonder where they go. The endless mystery down an unexplored road always leads to the question: do you follow the road to find out where it leads you to, or let the mystery remain?
