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 two-for-one'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 and 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

Whoa, whoa

This road, it keeps a-winding, I, I wonder why I'm here
Bloodshot eyes and trembling, there's a monster in my mirror
But there ain't no exit signs (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
