Blue Highway

So long big city,
It's time to say goodbye.
I'm longing for those country roads.
I need to see the sky.
Think I'll take a swing down south
Visit Tennessee.
See if that girl, Annie,
Still remembers me.

Gonna take that blue highway
And leave this sorry town.
I've stayed too long, but now I'm gone
And I know where I'm bound.
I don't want to take the interstate.
It represents all the things I hate.
I'm rolling down that blue highway.

So long confusion,
It's time to slow things down.
Say goodbye to my old friends,
Ease on out of town.
I made me some money here,
But paid for everyday.
And every mile just makes me smile
'Cause I made my getaway.

Gonna take that blue highway
And leave this sorry town.
I've stayed too long, but now I'm gone
And I know where I'm bound.
I've had it up to here with worries.
From now on I'm in no hurry
Rolling down that blue highway.

I'll be ridin' that blue highway
Leave this sorry town.
I've stayed too long, but now I'm gone
And I know where I'm bound.
I've had it up to here with worries.
From now on I'm in no hurry
Rolling down that blue highway. 
I'll be rolling down that blue highway.
You can find me on that blue highway.
