| [Verse 1] | |
| I was born singing yes I am | |
| Grew up some kind of travelin’ man | |
| Sunday morning, pack my things | |
| Say so long sweet potato | |
| I’m on the road again | |
| [Chorus] | |
| Oh it’s a lovely stretch of the highway | |
| Leading me on | |
| And my favorite thing is to miss my home | |
| When I’m gone, soon as I’m gone | |
| [Verse 2] | |
| Chi-Town baby, that’s my town too | |
| People pick it right on up, do the looma lamaloo | |
| Just for example, look at ye yonder | |
| Chicago’s got the finest high-test first-class | |
| Poontang anywhere | |
| [Chorus] | |
| Oh it’s a lovely stretch of the highway | |
| Leading me on | |
| And my favorite thing is to miss my home | |
| When I’m gone, soon as I’m gone | |
| [Verse 3] | |
| I want to thank the man that planed the land | |
| I want to thank the man that towed the load | |
| In the burning sun and the freezing cold | |
| I want to thank the man that made this road | |
| Eisenhower | |
| Mr. Dwight D | |
| General Motors | |
| Big Ol’ GMC | |
| They saw the future | |
| Yes, indeed | |
| Eternal combustion | |
| That’s what the country’s gonna need | |
| [Chorus] | |
| Oh it’s a lovely stretch of the highway | |
| Leading me on | |
| And my favorite thing is to miss my home | |
| When I’m gone, soon as I’m gone | |
| Tomorrow | |
| Same as today | |
| One more time | |
| Mama that’s ok | |
| Shake your head “yes” | |
| Shake your head “no” | |
| Keep it straight and level | |
| And steady as she goes |
