High Road Lyrics


it may not be my idea of a perfect trip
but, thats what life is man
life is just beautiful
we need to be more appreciative what we have
its just, i take it all for granted and thats just...
y'know i do live day-by-day but every now and then you have to stop and jus look at each day
and say "wow, look what ive seen in that one day"...
(Mad Child)
It's a wonderful thought, that I could take one road
And end up in L.A. when it's time to take a load off my shoulders
Cause it gets much colder, it rains in the winter
Where I live so I entered the I-5
Just like this movie big Trip?where five drive
Across the country as they journey through new realms
The helm of an adventure as they capture it on film
A new millennium the mission is essentially
Questioning characters at the turn of the century
No rush cause they'll get there eventually

Kind of like my career and mind state mentally
One route to follow, let's keep rollin'
Desperate junkies and Silverman in New Orleans
Black Elvis, some scenes make you smile
An alligator wrestler that chills for a while
Hold up, is that a manger at the side of the road
Hallucinogenics and ecstasy caps to lighten the load
The high road, not cause of the drugs you take
Cause of the memories you keep, and the friends you make
(Mad Child & Prevail) (Chorus x4)
Bright lights, and neon streets that are beyond
My road's the high road, the one you should be on
(Prevail)
The maiden voyage, descriptions of millennial contact
Saved on footage, ships of the street in the summer heat
When rubber meets the hot road, southern rainfall
Weather and slang that change code, highway patrol
Alcohol and Redbull
Mediums mixed with drugs natural and chemical
Immediate freak show plateau where you land individual
Standing in the audience my mouth moves the visual
The difference that will separate mind from brain
Comes only with experience living on the wide open plane
So focus on the questions and the answers and the game
Incredible, the fast lane will have life flash
Unforgettable, as long as I've got my friends it's worth the pain
I've traveled the Earth I've fallen and risen in flames
Driven to view the domain
From the perspective of the young and protected
Camera view overviews my objective overhead projective
Absorbs the milliseconds, kilometers for reference
Speedometers will mark the entrance
We talk to residents who start sentence without reserve
I realize the things I don't need all the things I don't deserve
So I try to live simply in a complicated world
(Mad Child & Prevail) (Chorus x4)
(Mad Child)
Broken down engines, cowboys and Indians
(Prevail)
Black Jack gunfights saloons and women
(Mad Child)
Eagles vultures hawks and crows
(Prevail)
Emergency exit at the hospital
(Mad Child)
Rattlesnakes scorpions and rodents
(Prevail)
Ghost towns truck stops and stars explodin'
(Mad Child)
In the wide and open rules apply to no man
(Prevail)
Die from a slow hand
(Mad Child & Prevail)
Live from the low land
(Mad Child & Prevail) (Chorus x4)

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Mathew James Willis (born 8 May 1983) is a British singer-songwriter. He first found fame as a member of the British band, Busted.

Busted was an English band consisting of Willis on bass guitar, James Bourne rhythm guitar and Charlie Simpson lead guitar and occasionally drums. Busted formed in 2001 and disbanded on 14 January 2005. While Matt was a member of Busted, the band earned a place in the Guinness World Record by selling out London's Wembley Arena six nights in a row.

Willis co-wrote many Busted songs:

* What I Go to School For (Single)
* You Said No (Single)
* Year 3000 (Single)
* Sleeping With The Light On (Single)
* Air Hostess (Single)
* She Wants to Be Me (Single)
* 3am (Single)
* Thunderbirds Are Go! (Single)
* Losing you
* All The Way
* Dawsons Geek
* When The Day Turns Into Night
* Everything I Knew
* Loser Kid
* Late Night Sauna
* My Good Friend
* Last Summer
* Fake
* Better Than This

On January 14th, 2005 Busted announced the departure of Charlie Simpson from the band in order to concentrate on work with his side-project Fightstar. In the same press conference, Willis and Bourne announced they would not continue as a duo, meaning that after three years in the charts, Busted had split.

Shortly prior to, and immediately after the demise of Busted, the press reported disputes between the band members. However, Willis has always stated there is no hostility between him and Simpson, and continues to support Fightstar. However in an interview Willis did state that there were rivalries between James Bourne and Simpson.

Willis embarked on a solo career, and has written some tracks which he describes as stadium pop/punk. Willis' debut performance as a solo artist was at Northumbria University in Newcastle on 20 March 2006, as part of the MTV's Spanking New Music Week. He also joined good friends McFly at Wembley Arena, and at the M.E.N. Arena during their Motion In The Ocean tour, to sing "Don't Stop Me Now" (originally recorded by Queen).

Two of Willis' songs have been used in films: "Hey Kid" was used in the film Stormbreaker, and also the American comedy film John Tucker Must Die. (Two different music videos were shot for the song, a different version for each film.) "Crash", a cover version of The Primitives 1988 single Crash featured in the film Mr Bean's Holiday, and Mr. Bean also features in the video (with Matt Willis) for the song.

Willis parted company with Mercury Records, in July 2007 and despite reports he was not dropped by Mercury Records. As of October 2008, Willis is currently writing new material for his new band, while occassionally appearing for DJ/PA gigs around the country.
