The Music Highway
Well I hitched a ride to Memphis with a ragtag band
They were chasin' Rock N' Roll and women in a van
I was chasin the blues with the strongest whiskey I could get
And chasin the truth and a tune in my head
I've been riding these roads and slinging these songs
Yeah from town to town I keep moving along
But every now and then a little something I find
That can make a town a little hard to leave behind
Ooh ooh ooh ooh / ooh ooh ooh
Well I tried my luck at love in Memphis before
Mississippi'd flow backwards fore I'd try it once more
But somewhere on her heart there was one weak spot
An you could pick it just right on an ole flattop
I dreamed a smokey kiss outside a' Neil's Bar
With her ass pressed up against some dirty, white car
Me pressed up against her soft, white skin
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Like the soft, wet beads on a glass a' gin
Ooh ooh ooh ooh / ooh ooh ooh
Well I lied and said soon I'd be back in town
I didn't know that then, but I know that now
You trust the art and not the artist I guess
Cause who he is in a song is his idealized self
You feel the whole city sing along
When you tap the right vein in a hard blues song
They warn the outta towners it's hard to draw
Yeah they wonder why we ever come down here at all
Ooh ooh ooh ooh / ooh ooh ooh ooh / ooh ooh ooh
Well they call this stretch of 40 the Music Highway
But I can't seem to make it sing today
