Highway Shine

[Chorus]
The highway's shining like an old river top
Just as far as you can see
Far beyond that canyon wall
There ain't nowhere I'd rather be

[Verse 1]
But back home in my darlin's sweet lovin' arms
There ain't nobody quite like she
There ain't no feelin' quite like free
The highway shine is calling me
Think I found myself a big record deal
Gonna move down to the Row
Gonna relocate to Los Angeles
And I won't have to work no more
'Cause I've been held down by the man too long
Gettin' by on gettin' by
And I can't take it anymore
They want me to lay right down and die

[Chorus]
The highway's shining like an old river top
Just as far as you can see
Far beyond that canyon wall
There ain't nowhere I'd rather be

[Verse 2]
Comin' back from Amarillo, babe
I just talked to Billy Joe
Told me to listen to this song that he wrote
"I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal"
But I'm gonna be a diamond someday‚ babe
Oh honey‚ just you wait and see
I'm gonna miss you when I'm gone
The highway shine is calling me

[Chorus]
The highway's shining like an old river top
Just as far as you can see
Far beyond that canyon wall
There ain't nowhere I'd rather be
The highway's shining like an old river top
Just as far as you can see
Far beyond that canyon wall
Highway shine is calling me
Far beyond that canyon wall
The highway shine is calling me
