Highway 40 Blues

In the style of

Ricky Skaggs

Lyrics

well these
highway 40 blues
i've walked holes
in both my shoes

counted the days
since i've been gone
and i'd love to see
the lights of home
wasted time
and money too
squandered youth
in search of truth

but in the end
i had to lose
lord above
i paid my dues
got the
highway 40 blues

the highway called
when i was young
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 them
highway 40 blues

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 40 blues
