lyrics
the evening's oranges, greens and blues
speed limit signs and endless views
the highway is my home
break lights, turn offs, dotted lines
mile markers on my mind
it's my way of getting gone
highway 80, please save me
from everything im running from
and all the men who've come and gone
n place me near the oases
through twists and turns and bridges burned
n learn my eyes to keep from going lazy
you never drive me crazy, highway 80
sunny blue skies, wisps of clouds
tire on asphalt whispers out
the highway is my home
eagle flyin high above the road
reminds of all the miles i've towed
and all the miles i've left to roam
highway 80, please save me
from everything im running from
and women that've come and gone
n place me near the oases
through twists and turns and bridges burned
n learn my eyes to keep from going lazy
you never drive me crazy, highway 80
soon enough all the road runs out
that's what they're all talkin bout
i wish them all the best
if there's any kin i've left behind me
brother you'll know where to find me
i'm headin west
highway 80, fair ribbon lady
you care not where i'm comin from
what's done is done is done
take me on a vacation down past the station
through fields of gold and tales yet told
assure me that it pays to just be patient
don't try to change shit
you never know what's on the other side of the horizon
'less you chase it
n it's all waitin on highway 80
the evening's oranges, greens and blues
speed limit signs and endless views
the highway is my home
