Highway Blues

Start

Intro

Highway dust on these old leather boots

Traveling light with nothing but the blues

Pages torn from a road map, faded and worn

Two souls with a dream since the day we were born

Verse 1

Left Bakersfield on a hot summer night

Your bottle slide gleaming in the dashboard light

I sang along to the radio playing low

Just two ramblers with nowhere to go

Found freedom in the songs we'd play

In smoky bars along the way

Pre-Chorus

When the morning comes, we'll be somewhere new

Chasing that horizon like dreamers always do

Chorus

Down the road we go, with nothing left to lose

Two hearts beating time to these old highway blues

Baby, it's just you and me, underneath these stars

Rolling through the night in this broken-down car[Chorus]

Down the road we go, with nothing left to lose

Two hearts beating time to these old highway blues

Baby, it's just you and me, underneath these stars

Rolling through the night in this broken-down car

Verse 2

New Orleans to Nashville, Memphis to L.A.

Every town's got a story but we never stay

Got your slide guitar and my voice to get us by

Mississippi moon keeping watch from up high

Pre-Chorus

When the morning comes, we'll be somewhere new

Chasing that horizon like dreamers always do

Chorus

Down the road we go, with nothing left to lose

Two hearts beating time to these old highway blues

Baby, it's just you and me, underneath these stars

Rolling through the night in this broken-down car[Bridge]

This highway's got more stories than we could ever tell

From Baton Rouge to Tucson, we've known them all too well

Your fingers on that bottleneck, sliding through the pain

While I sing out our troubles through the pouring rain

Verse 3

Truck stop coffee and roadside motels

Pawnshop guitars with stories to tell

We're just two drifters with music in our veins

Playing for our supper and outrunning those chains

Pre-Chorus

When the morning comes, we'll be somewhere new

Chasing that horizon like dreamers always do

Chorus

Down the road we go, with nothing left to lose

Two hearts beating time to these old highway blues

Baby, it's just you and me, underneath these stars

Rolling through the night in this broken-down car

Outro

The radio's playing low as the miles roll by

Your slide guitar whispers as the dawn cracks the sky

We may be running on empty, but our hearts are still full

This highway life may be hard, but baby, it sure ain't dull

End
