| [00:00.760] |
|
| [00:13.870] |
I drove in on the four lane |
| [00:15.340] |
|
| [00:16.520] |
Where the two lane used to be |
| [00:18.360] |
|
| [00:19.850] |
The highway hummed a near forgotten tune |
| [00:22.330] |
|
| [00:23.970] |
From 1963 |
| [00:25.490] |
|
| [00:26.580] |
The year I turned 18 and set my sights |
| [00:29.180] |
|
| [00:30.630] |
And heard the highway call |
| [00:32.250] |
|
| [00:33.750] |
Now the highway's come full circle |
| [00:35.630] |
|
| [00:36.790] |
To a place I scarce recall |
| [00:38.720] |
|
| [00:42.220] |
There's a girl I still remember |
| [00:43.950] |
|
| [00:45.780] |
Whose name I can't recall |
| [00:47.470] |
|
| [00:49.540] |
I gave her what I had but then |
| [00:51.440] |
|
| [00:52.790] |
She tried to take it all |
| [00:54.320] |
|
| [00:55.460] |
I stayed long enough to love her |
| [00:57.830] |
|
| [00:58.630] |
And then left her on the run |
| [01:00.780] |
|
| [01:02.640] |
Like a flower left to wither |
| [01:04.700] |
|
| [01:05.470] |
In that deep East Texas sun |
| [01:07.940] |
|
| [01:10.970] |
There's a place out on the highway |
| [01:13.580] |
|
| [01:14.200] |
Where I go to spend my time |
| [01:16.050] |
|
| [01:17.260] |
Where the bartenders all know me |
| [01:20.020] |
|
| [01:20.750] |
And the players are friends of mine |
| [01:22.640] |
|
| [01:24.350] |
And we light up on the brakes |
| [01:26.310] |
|
| [01:27.270] |
And talk of things that we all know |
| [01:29.960] |
|
| [01:32.800] |
But I've heard it all before |
| [01:34.720] |
|
| [01:38.400] |
And I'll hear it all again |
| [01:40.210] |
|
| [01:43.410] |
And I've heard it said |
| [01:45.170] |
The highway never ends |
| [01:47.710] |
|
| [01:59.540] |
So what about old handsome Johnny |
| [02:01.260] |
|
| [02:03.670] |
And the class of '64 |
| [02:05.270] |
|
| [02:07.090] |
Did the women all make promises |
| [02:08.670] |
|
| [02:10.340] |
When they shipped him off to war |
| [02:12.150] |
|
| [02:13.950] |
Did his mama get the medal |
| [02:15.220] |
|
| [02:17.080] |
And did his country ever win |
| [02:18.630] |
|
| [02:20.170] |
Well let's drink a round to Johnny |
| [02:21.950] |
|
| [02:23.460] |
'Cuz he died for all our sins |
| [02:25.510] |
|
| [02:28.280] |
They're still down there in the factories |
| [02:30.450] |
|
| [02:32.320] |
You can see 'em in the mills |
| [02:33.970] |
|
| [02:35.510] |
They've sweated there for years Lord |
| [02:37.350] |
|
| [02:39.270] |
I guess they always will |
| [02:40.790] |
|
| [02:42.560] |
And you know they won't be leaving |
| [02:44.330] |
|
| [02:45.750] |
And I can't watch 'em die that way |
| [02:47.690] |
|
| [02:49.200] |
So in my rear view mirror |
| [02:51.070] |
|
| [02:52.270] |
I'll just watch them slip away |
| [02:54.500] |
|
| [02:57.080] |
There's a place out on the highway |
| [02:59.830] |
|
| [03:00.650] |
Where I go to spend my time |
| [03:02.590] |
|
| [03:03.760] |
Where the bartenders all know me |
| [03:06.490] |
|
| [03:07.050] |
And the players are friends of mine |
| [03:09.370] |
|
| [03:10.820] |
And we light up on the brakes |
| [03:13.260] |
And talk of things that we all know |
| [03:16.590] |
|
| [03:19.350] |
But I've heard it all before |
| [03:21.050] |
|
| [03:24.260] |
And I'll hear it all again |
| [03:26.550] |
|
| [03:29.460] |
And I've heard it said |
| [03:30.480] |
|
| [03:31.690] |
The highway never ends |
| [03:33.110] |
|
| [03:37.890] |
The highway never ends |
| [03:39.280] |
|
| [03:45.260] |
The highway never ends |
