Both Sides Now
So long, big city; it's time to say goodbye.I'm longing for those country roads;I need to see the sky.Think I'll take a swing down south, visit Tennessee.See if that girl Annie still remembers me.
Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town.Stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound.I don't wanna take the interstate; it represents all the things I hate.I'm rollin' down that blue highway.
So long, confusion; it's time to slow things down.Say goodbye to my old friends, ease on out of town.I made me some money here but paid for ev'ry day.And ev'ry mile just makes me smile, 'cause I made my getaway.
Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town.I've stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound.I've had it up to here with worry.From now on, I'm in no hurry, rollin' down that blue highway.
I'll be ridin' that blue highway and leave this sorry town.I've stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound.I've had it up to here with worry.From now on, I'm in no hurry, rollin' down that blue highway.I'll be rollin' down that blue highway.You can find me on that blue highway.

So long, big city; it's time to say goodbye.
I'm longing for those country roads;
I need to see the sky.
Think I'll take a swing down south, visit Tennessee.
See if that girl Annie still remembers me.
Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town.
Stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound.
I don't wanna take the interstate; it represents all the things I hate.
I'm rollin' down that blue highway.
So long, confusion; it's time to slow things down.
Say goodbye to my old friends, ease on out of town.
I made me some money here but paid for ev'ry day.
And ev'ry mile just makes me smile, 'cause I made my getaway.
Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town.

So long big city
Its time to say goodbye
Im longing for those country roads
I need to see the sky
Think Ill take a swing down south
Visit tennessee
See if that girl annie
Still remembers me
Gonna take that blue highway
And leave this sorry town
Stayed too long, but now Im gone
And I know where Im bound
I dont wanna take the interstate
It represents all the things I hate
Im rolling down that blue highway
So long confusion
Its time to slow things down
Say goodbye to my old friends
Ease on out of town
I made me some money here
I paid for every day
And every mile just makes me smile
cause Ive made my getaway
Gonna take that blue highway
And leave this sorry town
Stayed too long, but now Im gone
And I know where Im bound
Ive had it up to here with worry
From now on Im in no hurry
Rolling down that blue highway
Ill be rolling down that blue highway
You can find me on that blue highway

Lost Highway (live)
I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost
For a life of sin I have paid the cost
When I past by all the people say
Just another guy on the lost highway
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
And a woman's lies makes a life like mine
On the day we met, oh I went astray
I started rolling down that lost highway
I was just a lad, nearly twenty two
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you
And now I'm lost, too late to pray
Lord I paid a cost, on the lost highway
Now boy's don't start to ramblin' round
On this road of sin are you sorrow bound
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
You started rollin' down that lost highway
You started rollin' down that lost highway
You started rollin' down that lost highway
You started rollin' down that lost highway

Blue Highway
Show my dear friends
Its to put your hands
I ought to start this here
Rain for a day glow
But when you wants to boy so
And I wake up in the usa
Oh you know were gonna ride
On a blue highway
Walk with the legs youre blind
On a blue highway
Wave hellow to pride
On my highway
Yes I almost died
On a blue highway
Oh some sweet mask
Or its kind of a bitter risk
Out to ride the night
Oh sisters so hip too
I hear you and I miss you
Co-starring in the usa
Oh you know were gonna ride
On a blue highway
Walk with the legs youre blind
On a blue highway
Wave hellow to pride
On my highway
Yes I almost died
On a blue highway
Why do I miss you
Why did I kiss you
Because
Oh you know were gonna ride
On a blue highway
Walk with the legs youre blind
On a blue highway
Wave hellow to pride
On my highway
Yes I almost died
So glad that youre living now
Im glad that youre here
Im glad that you wanna stay
Because
You know were gonna ride
On a blue highway
Walk with the legs youre blind
On a blue highway
Wave hellow to pride
On my highway
Yes I almost died
On a blue highway
On a blue highway
Wings and well wind the love
Yes theres a time a time for love
Then you kissed me
On a blue highway
Why do I miss you
Why did I kiss you

Out Of The Blue
Written by ian bairnson
Out of the blue
I come sailing
Through the years
Through the years
What do I do?
Now that Ive seen
All our hopes
And all of our fears
And Im riding a lonely highway
Im the man from out of the blue
Yes Im riding a lonely highway
Im the man from out of the blue
I travel far
Yet no distance
Im still here
Always here
So follow the call
To our senses
Still theres hope
Behind the fear
And Im riding a lonely highway
cause Im the man from out of the blue
And Im riding a lonely highway
Im the man from out of the blue
Yes Im riding a lonely highway
Im the man from out of the blue

Medern Day Bonnie And Clyde
Well it's a long way to Richmond
Rollin' north on 95
With a redhead ridin' shotgun
And a pistol by my side
Tearin' down that highway
Like a modern day Bonnie and Clyde
We met at a truckstop
Johnson City, Tennessee
I was gassin' up my Firebird
When I heard her callin' me...mmm hmm
Said, 'Which way are you headed, boy
Do you need some company'
She had me stoppin' at a quick mart
Before we made it out of town
Next thing she was runnin' at me
Tellin' me to lay that hammer down
'Cause there's a man right behind me
Doin' his best to slow me down
Yeah and it's a long way to Richmond
Rollin' north on 95
With a redhead ridin' shotgun
And a pistol by my side
Tearin' down that highway
Like a modern day Bonnie and Clyde
Woo...
Well we pulled up to a motel
In the middle of the night
We were countin' all the money
Smokin' stolen Marlboro lights
Lord we never saw 'em comin'
'Til they read us both our rights
Yeah and it's a long way to Richmond
Rollin' north on 95
With a sheriff right beside me
Pistol pointed at my side
Oh, Lord...such a disappointing ending
For this modern day Bonnie and Clyde
Yeah...
Whoa
Well...
Woo...hoo

The Long Highway
Heard a bell being toll
Before the break of day
I heard then my name being called
Down that long highway
You dont get long
You dont get long
You dont get long to stay
Kissing me once and Ill be gone
Down that long highway
Spirits call from way beyond
Lord I may not disobey
Spare a thought for the vagabond
Down that long highway
Down that long highway
Down that long highway

I Got A Name
Like the pine trees linin the windin road
Ive got a name, Ive got a name
Like the singin bird and the croakin toad
Ive got a name, Ive got a name
And I carry it with me like my daddy did
But Im livin the dream that he kept hid
Movin me down the highway
Rollin me down the highway
Movin ahead so life wont pass me by
Like the north wind whistlin down the sky
Ive got a song, Ive got a song
Like the whippoorwill and the babys cry
Ive got a song, Ive got a song
And I carry it with me and I sing it loud
If it gets me nowhere, Ill go there proud
Movin me down the highway
Rollin me down the highway
Movin ahead so life wont pass me by
And Im gonna go there free
Like the fool I am and Ill always be
Ive got a dream, Ive got a dream
They can change their minds but they cant change me
Ive got a dream, Ive got a dream
Oh, I know I could share it if you want me to
If youre going my way, Ill go with you
Movin me down the highway
Rollin me down the highway
Movin ahead so life wont pass me by

Highway Runner
Highway lead him to where hes never been
Show that drifter what hes never seen
Introduce him to this
Acquaint him with that
Gotta keep searching like a stray stray cat
Highway runner chasing time since the day he was born
Highway runner racing time around the world one more time
For one more time
It aint even me can hold him down
Country just a breath from town to town
He got restless feet and a restless mind
Never wanna travel through the same place twice
Highway runner chasing time since the day he was born
Highway runner racing time around the world one more time
For one more time
One more time
One more time
One more time
Youre gonna meet your match...

Rockin Down The Highway
Tom johnston
Got those highway blues, cant you hear my motor runnin
Flyin down the road with my foot on the floor
All the way in town they can hear me comin
Fords about to drop, she wont do no more
And I smell my motor burnin
Underneath the hood is smoke
Cant stop, and I cant stop
Got to keep on movin or Ill lose my mind
Oh, rockin down the highway
Oh, rockin down the highway
Oh, rockin down the highway
Oh, rockin down the highway
The highway patrol got his eyes on me
I know what hes thinkin and it aint good
Im movin so fast he can barely see me
Gonna lose that man, I know I should
I gotta kick in my pedal
Make my ford move a little bit faster
Cant stop, and I cant stop
Got to keep on movin or Ill lose my mind
Oh, rockin down the highway

Rollin
She was born to a mother trucker
Raised behind the wheel
So you can blame it on the highway
For the way she cant sit still
She says life is like a windshield
It aint no rear view mirror
The only way to get where youre goin
Is find that higher gear
And keep it
(chorus)
Rollin
Lifes gonna run you over if you dont get goin
She said I wanna fell the earth move under me
Movin with the motion of a melody
Oh I get the blues if the rhythm aint got no soul
You got to keep it
Rollin.
Well I knew that I was in trouble
When she told me that talk was cheap
Said if youre tired get on the sofa
cause the beds no place to sleep lord it knocked me on my knees
And I knew if I was gonna get naked
I was gonna have to roll up my sleeves.
And keep it
Rollin
*chorus*
So I talked her into gettin married
But she wouldnt hang up her wheels
I was afraid Id take a back seat
To the way the highway feels
But each day shes pullin over
More than she used to
She knows love is like the highway
The main thing you gotta do
Is keep it rollin

Homeward Bound
The highway stretched into the sunset
or at least it seemed to
when you are travelling home.
The miles disappear rapidly,
but more and more appear
on that long lonely highway
heading homeward bound.
The stars appear with the moon
and the headlights blink on
along the lonely highway
when the sun goes down.
Every mile is a bit closer
as you race into the night
heading homeward bound.

King's Highway
Ugh Yeah You should really turn this up
Natural Bridge and King's Highway
as loud as possible (that's what I'm talkin about)
Natural Bridge and King's Highway yeah
ask em' Where you headed?
Natural Bridge and King's Highway (yeah)
Natural Bridge and King's Highway
Come one with it
It's me and my derrty we just got back home
in the blue grey Bently with the cellular phone
Callin' up the 'tics time to get it jumpin'
smoke comin' out the sunroof to let em know we're comin'
Errebody lookin' if you're jealous turn around
21 inches keep me further from the ground
I'm gettin good grip from the Dunlop Tires
The F1's bumpin' but I need the volume higher
Cause there ain't no way get on the basement beat hits
J.E. and Wally got an wanna get some
I heard them haters talkin' but what am I to do?
I'm the men that little hate the Bill Clinton of the Lou'
Picked up some shorties on Skinker towards roastin'
Headed for the castlelot muskada got me croachin
Bently kinda crowded ol car was leanin' back
Shandra watchin' TV with two gurlies on their lap
Martin Luther King the setence kinda dead
Made a left on King's Highway
Natural Bridge is just ahead
So fresh and so clean
U City representin'
the St Lunatics on castlelot set
(Chorus)
Where you headed?
Natural Bridge and King's Highway
Natural Bridge and King's Highway
Come on with it
Where you headed?
Natural Bridge and King's Highway
(Basement beats gon' make it rock the tic's gon make it rock)
Natural Bridge and King's Highway
come on with it
Now rollin' with the tics you know we never bored
show me another click when more points scored
we walk around with criminals a bunch of big gorillas
My derrty Murphy Lee he's a teenage lady killer
Keyjuan is on my left side dancin' with this freak
The way she clap that *** make my knees get weak
JD is the white guy people think he's funny
Been down long time way before we had the money
But now we collectin' dollars from platinum to white gold
Swervin' in this Bentley and ain't got no place to go
Rollin' past Fairground what's up to the thugs
Shorties in their mini's wanna show a little love
but the dope man got em and they bust just right
shorties looked depressed cause that thing gon' stop
Headed back toward G and bust a Uie what the hell
Somebody shoutin' Nelly were damn near out of L's
Baby girl blew me a kiss said you're number one
then looked and me and I ain't gon tell you what she done
the closer we get the woozier I feel
Natural Bridge and King's Highway somebody take the wheel
Where you headed?
Natural Bridge and King's Highway
Natural Bridge and King's Highway

Highway To Hell
Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too
I'm on the highway to Hell
No stop signs, speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody's gonna mess me round
I am Satan, paid my dues
I'm playing in a rocking band
Hey Momma, look at me
I'm on my way to the promised land
I'm on the highway to Hell
I'm on the highway to Hell

Goodbye Marie
I woke up this mornin'
All cotton mouthed from drinkin'
Wonderin' how I'd make it through the day-ay
Wild eyed and crazy
All burned out from thinkin'
Wonderin' how the hell I's gonna say
Goodbye Marie, oh goodbye Marie-ie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway callin' me
It was fun Marie, but I got to ru-un Marie
If I can not keep your love
At least I'll have your memory
Goodbye Marie
Wakin' up beside you
On a Tijuana mornin'
With that ocean breeze to keep us cool
Three weeks of lovin'
Twenty-one nights of heaven
I stayed just long enough to be your fool
Oh goodbye Marie, oh goodbye Marie-ie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway callin' me
It was fun Marie, but I got to ru-un Marie
If I can not keep your love
At least I'll have your memory
Goodbye Marie
Por favor, pour me
One more tequila
I need all the courage I can fi-ind
This time tomorrow
I'll be back in Houston
Thinkin' about the girl I left behi-ind
So goodbye Marie, oh good Marie-ie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway callin' me
It was fun Marie and I got to ru-un Marie
If I can not keep your love
At least I'll have your memory
Goodbye Marie
Goodbye Marie, oh good Marie
Out the window there's a lonesome highway callin' me
It was fun Marie, but I got to ru-un Marie
If I can not keep your love
At least I'll have your memory
Goodbye Marie [fade]
