After forming in 1975, the band Blackfoot had spent four years in a deadly slump with an inability to produce a hit album. As the year 1979 came around the corner, they began recording a new album known simply as Strikes.

[Verse 1]
Well, another day, another dollar
After I've sang and hollered
Oh, it's my way of living, and I can't change a thing
Another town is drawing near
Oh, baby, I wish you were here
But the only way I can see you, darlin', is in my dreams
[Chorus 1]
It's a highway song
You sing it on and on
On and on
[Verse 2]
Well, the hurt you leave behind
It's the hurt that's on your mind
Oh, and last night's show took its toll on me
Well the city lights fly by me
As I lay my body in my bed
Oh, and dreams of you dance through my head
[Chorus 2]
It's a highway song
You sing it on and on
On and on
Highway song
Is as lonely
As the road I'm on
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 3]
It's those big wheels are ready to roll
We've be flyin' high and so low

Oh, I stand alone
Only in my dream
[Chorus 3]
Highway song
You sing it on and on
On and on
Highway song
Is as lonely
As the road I'm on (Well, highway song)
Highway song
You sing it on and on
On and on
Highway song
Is as lonely
As the road I'm on
