I guess the Highroad to Heaven can be a lonely road sometimes. I wrote this song back in the Mid 90’s, so it’s old, and I’m finally got around to getting it recorded and putting it out there. The imagery of me sitting next to a payphone (I envisioned this happening in an old diner along a desert road), is what I am describing in the song, so I think it’s funny that you almost never see pay phones anymore… But I guess It could also be by my own smartphone, waiting for that call too. Too bad the call will never come through in this story. Sometimes we have to do stuff on our own, for better or worse. It makes us stronger, even though we may not like it. The songs title is just a metaphor for getting to the next level and not remaining stagnant. Getting to where we are happy with ourselves. We can all just sit by that phone waiting for someone to come along, to “make” us happy, and waste away the rest of our lives doing nothing, or we can choose to make the best of our current situations. The song can mean whatever it means to you.
