Highway boys on the road tonight

Got a gig out at the ryman

Finally learned the hard way, that

All good things take time, friend.

I heard they'll pay a lost soul

To sing his songs true

That make a southern boy cry or

Turn a northeast man confused.

And I awoke with a fever

Sweating oceans again

There's mirrors in hotel rooms

But I do not recognize them

Maybe it's the feeling that I, get in my sleep

That all the memories in my mind

Are only mine to keep.

I wanna ride that k-10 to way back when

Sleep next to the river, hear it rushing again

Get my no good soul back to where it belongs

And do my best to keep truth in songs

Do my best to keep truth in songs.

And all of my old friends miss having me around

But, highways work both ways

And I can't stand the liars in town

If you need me you can find me

Slightly out of control

'cause highway boys don't rest

And don't hang hats 'til their home.

Highway boys on the road tonight

Got a gig out at the ryman

They finally found out the hard way

That this sound I got is mine man.

So, if you need me call

If you're in love, fall

Just know that highway boys

Don't stick around at all.

I wanna ride that k-10 to way back when

Sleep next to the river, hear it rushing again

Get my no good soul back to where it belongs

And do my best to keep truth in songs

Do my best to keep truth in songs.

Highway boys on the road tonight

Got a gig out at the ryman

They finally found out the hard way

That this sound I got is mine man.
