Jason Didner opening for Willie Nile in Montclair, NJ

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Windshield wipers are frozen and it's hard to see
If there's dangerous obstacles in front of me
It's a slippery turnpike and the left lane's out
These times can test your grip on what your life's about

In my engine the gremlins knock my self esteem
As they try to drive down the value of my dreams
As I struggle for traction up this icy hill
They make me think dark thoughts but they can't break my will

Chorus:
Let's move on forward, here's to making our way
To the dreams we work for coming into reach
Salt and sand on this icy highway
Will be salt and sand on a summer beach
Salt and sand on this icy highway
Will be salt and sand on a summer beach

Verse 2:
I can feel your frustration as you spin your wheels
I'm identifying big-time with the way you feel
You set your plan and watch it get pushed back
It takes a steady hand to get you back on track

Yeah the heat of anger may move us along
But it ain't no substitute for staying strong
Today we won't be quickly satisfied
But we've got dreams of a lifetime that won't be denied

Chorus

Bridge:
We can fade
Or we can shine
The way we choose to walk the line
