 Got The Highway Forty Blues.


VERSE 2:
The highway called when I was ytoung
Told me lies of things to come.
Fame and fortune lies ahead,
That's what the billboard lights had said.
Shattered dreams my mind is numb,
My money's gone stick out my thumb,
My eyes are filled with bitter tears
Lord I ain't been home in years
got the Highway Forty Blues.

VERSE 3:
You know I've rambled all around,
Like a rolling stone from town to town.
Met pretty girls I have to say,
but none of them could make me stay.
Well I've played the music halls and bars,
Had fancy clothes and big fine cars,
Things a country boy can't use
Dixie-Land I sure miss you
got the Highway Forty Blues.
