Lyrics
Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire
They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever yours, faithfully
Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you
And being apart ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours, faithfully
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Faithfully, I'm still yours
I'm forever yours
Ever yours, faithfully

I loved Journey in late 70s. I drove across country on 3 days notice when I was 21, 1978. Went for 2 weeks, stayed for a year. Journey on the brain lol. I saw great shows and got backstage at 2, but not them. A while after I flew home, my sister and her bf had Journey tickets!!! She gave hers to me because she wasn't that into them. Wow what a show! 1981 I think.
I saw them again in 2019. Got my sis front row to see her fav band, Def Leppard. Journey opened. After Steve Perry... what can I say. Music is everything
