After seeing Classic Albums Live doing Pink Floyd's "Animals", I imagined this band in a smoky roadhouse, the likely conversations flowing at the bar, the unlikely politics and business parallels. That's what happens with songs!

lyrics

LOVE ON THE HIGHWAY

The band was playing tough, tight like a ready slingshot.
And the guys at the bar were talking rough; the women dancing, temptingly hot.

Like love on the highway; was it meant to last?
Like love on the highway; was it just too fast?

Politicians say anything, hustling . . . . . as if we all have ears
For the promises of nothing or their sad attempts to shame their peers

Like love on the highway; were they meant to last?
Like love on the highway; are they just too fast?

Businessmen exchange consolidated plans
To widen the gap and strengthen their hands; and
The guys at the bar with sorrows to drown
With women who dance until the next shutdown.

Like love on the highway; are they going to last?
Like love on the highway; will they fail as fast?
Like love on the highway; like love on the highway

The band is done and medicated while some girls wait in the doorway
And the guys at the bar are wasted: no love tonight on the highway.

No love tonight on the highway.
Like love on the highway.
Love on the highway
