The Highway
Well I went and built a highway
a freeway of my own
I put bars at every exit
to mark the miles that I roam
Yeah they’re running 2-for-1’s
on Blue Ribbons every day
And all the girls look like you and serve ‘em cold
but they let me stay
(Mmm-hmm)
Well I guess I built a highway
this turnpike of my own
Just wanders ‘round the country
searching for a home
There’s a church at every exit
but I’ve forgotten how to pray
Well how much farther could it be, my Lord?
Hope I’m on my way
(Woah, woah)
This road it keeps a winding
I wonder why I’m here
Bloodshot eyes and trembling
there’s a monster in my mirror
But there ain’t no exit signs
just one road to misery
I guess this lonesome highway I built
is where I’m supposed to be
I guess this lonesome highway I built
was built for me
