[Verse 1]
Well I write songs about people that influence me
And the miles of life I've seen
The friends and folks I love and care about
It's like a Czech Stop in that West town off 35
Your’e headed south on your left and that sunset's on your right
And I had Ray Wylie Hubbard on my stereo singing Tell Sue songs it's rhythm and soul
It reminds me of an old prophet telling secrets that have yet to have ever been told, no

[Chorus]
The highway goes on
Yeah the highway, yeah, goes on

[Verse 2]
It's been some years I've lived in a Texas town
Where the rumors float they fall to the ground from the clouds
God knows it never rains in this here town
And a homeless man on South Congress street got a guitar case but nothing to eat
Told me stay young forever 'cause it sucks geting old like me
He said stay young forever son, cause it sucks
It sucks getting old like me

[Chorus]
The highway, yeah, goes on
Yeah the highway, yeah, goes on
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
I don't know where I'll be
If I can make a living from the way that I sing
When I was 19 and took all the things I'd seen
When I found music, or the music found me
Don't know if I found the music, or the music found
I think it found me

[Chorus]
The highway goes on
Yeah the highway, yeah, goes on
