Lyrics for Highway Born
I love the highway I suppose I always will Feels like I was born there And then being born still I was born between towns with the pedal down With the pedal down, how am I ever going to settle down? I need to check on Oklahoma, Louisiana, Tennessee I need to take the temperature of the whole country I need to get away, I never want to stay Just play, say "hey", get paid and be on my way Back on the highway I don't know any other way But back on the highway I was born between towns with the pedal down With the pedal down, how am I ever going to settle down? I took my chili spoon on my honeymoon, that's true The good news, my love loves chili too My love loves chili almost as much as I do I love the highway, I suppose I always will Feels like I was born there and am being born still And there's a highway in our hearts that I ride with you I love this highway too I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you And I love you And when I die, bury me far away So I can take one last long trip Out on the highway
