The Highway歌词


I drove in on the four lane

Where the two lane used to be

The highway hummed a near forgotten tune

From 1963

The year I turned 18 and set my sights

And heard the highway call

Now the highway's come full circle

To a place I scarce recall

There's a girl I still remember

Whose name I can't recall

I gave her what I had but then

She tried to take it all

I stayed long enough to love her

And then left her on the run

Like a flower left to wither

In that deep East Texas sun

There's a place out on the highway

Where I go to spend my time

Where the bartenders all know me

And the players are friends of mine

And we light up on the brakes

And talk of things that we all know

But I've heard it all before

And I'll hear it all again

And I've heard it said
The highway never ends

So what about old handsome Johnny

And the class of '64

Did the women all make promises

When they shipped him off to war

Did his mama get the medal

And did his country ever win

Well let's drink a round to Johnny

'Cuz he died for all our sins

They're still down there in the factories

You can see 'em in the mills

They've sweated there for years Lord

I guess they always will

And you know they won't be leaving

And I can't watch 'em die that way

So in my rear view mirror

I'll just watch them slip away

There's a place out on the highway

Where I go to spend my time

Where the bartenders all know me

And the players are friends of mine

And we light up on the brakes
And talk of things that we all know

But I've heard it all before

And I'll hear it all again

And I've heard it said

The highway never ends

The highway never ends

The highway never ends
