I know everything is broken; it's tangled up so tight,
Darkness can fall so heavy,
Even daytime feels like night,
But, Jayney, I think the trick is: we've got to face down the pain,
And, when the clouds bust open, you just walk out into the rain.
Hey, Jayney, it's still good to be alive, even with the sadness and questions why,
Hey, Jayney, ain't it good to be alive?
The highway's calling, come take a ride. (Jayney)
I know your dreams turned sour; it tore your heart in two,
You want to blame somebody or turn the blame back on you,
But, Jayney, I think the truth is there's something bigger than dreams,
Maybe Heaven's trying to shake us down 'til we find out what living means.
Hey, Jayney, it's still good to be alive; it's a gift from God you can't deny,
Yeah, hey, Jayney, ain't it good to be alive?
The highway's calling, come take a ride. (Jayney)
We're always haunted by the damage done,
Always frightened for the future,
And we're trying to break free somehow,
Well, I believe that love is timeless when we surrender to its holy fire,
Touch forever in the here and now.
Hey, yeah.
Hey, Jayney, it's still good to be alive; it's a short hello, a long goodbye,
Hey, Jayney, ain't it good to alive?
The highway's calling, come take a ride,
Yeah, now, now,
The highway's calling, let's take that ride. (Jayney)
Hey, Jayney, (Jayney)
Ooh, Jayney, (Jayney)
I said, hey, Jayney. (Jayney)
