Silence on the highway as I make my way
Path down to darkness to visit memory
Twenty years have passed today
Never yours to live, only mine
On route thirty-nine, in vain I called your sign
My youth ended that very day
You were Maverick, I was Jester
Had tanks full of freedom, a road wide and long
Had our callsigns since we were kids,
You and me, my best friend
Wherever you went, I went along
Calling Maverick, are you there?
Can't see you anywhere
It's the worst that I fear, come in if you hear
I saw your headlights disappear
I said,
You behind your wheel, and I behind mine
Let's go nightriding, let's go down the line
Hit the afterburners, do a barrel roll
The night is so fine
I'll race you down the thirty-nine
Right here we can stand once more
The chasm just before the lakeshore
Your callsign one last time
Maverick, are you there?
See you where eagles dare
