lyrics

Greg's Song

There's a blue sky hanging on the horizon
Like the freedom of the feeling of the wind
There's song blowing in through the windows rolled down
And I'm running out of places I ain't been

The road slides beside me like a river
We swam just to see where it would go
There weren't no fish around to see me nearly drown
But buddy that's the only way of living that we know

Ooh-rah Captain won't you come on back again
Texas is your home and hell, I need a friend
Ooo-wee Gregory the highway knows our song
Looking back, you gotta laugh at how we lived this long

At night, you know, the scenery never changes
Just the signs that mark the county roads
Caffeine and nicotine coursing through our veins
At Waffle House somewhere in West Monroe

The moon she's a fine old traveling partner
She'll shine just as sweet as sugar-pie
The morning can smile just like a girl you wanna love
When she wraps the dawn around you, you forget to wonder why

I-20 sure can make you mighty weary
Like a truck stuck in the mud and out of gas
Walking in at 6 am and we're on the road again
Just another dawn come way too fast

You're stuck up there somewhere in Virginia
Glad you finally left Tennessee
But you'll never stay too long once you hear that rambling song
Son, I can't complain, it's the same way with me

The highway she ain't much of a lover
But she'll do until we find another one
There's a weariness and a dreariness in the setting of the sun
Like 27 hours straight and 12 more 'til you're done
