She Swings, She Sways - Highway lyrics

I was drinking with your sister In the cafe down the road, Discussing Kerouac and Chaucer And the stories that they told. We made plans to meet up later On the banks of Twizzle Creek Where our lips would sing our heartsong Though we'd never have to speak. And I was dancing with your sister In a club in County Down We were king's kids and we knew it Shaking up this shantytown. And the Belfast boys were jealous, And the Bangor girls were mad, To see the perfect Irish rose Leaving with this yankee lad. And the highway never ends, It just goes on and on my friend. And the highway never ends, It just goes on and on and on and on my friend. I was sleeping with your sister In your parents' borrowed room. We were laughing at you, Michael, And your prophecies of gloom. And the rain it was a constant, But the bed was deep and warm, So we never heard the thunder Or saw the lightning from the storm. And I was deep inside your sister, In a Northside lonely bed, Trying to hard to remember All the manuals I'd read. We were pushing, we were twisting, We were striving for the prize, But when the sun came up to greet us, She couldn't look me in the eyes. And the highway never ends, It just goes on and on my friend. And the highway never ends, It just goes on and on and on and on my friend. I was clinging to your sister On a runway dark and cold, Cursing Kerouac and Chaucer And the stupid stories that they told. And the highway never ends, It just goes on and on my friend. And the highway never ends, It just goes on and on my friend. And the highway never ends, It just goes on and on my friend. And the highway never ends, It just goes on and on my friend. And the highway never ends, It just goes on and on my friend. And the highway never ends, It just goes on and on my friend. And the highway never ends, It just goes on and on my friend. And the highway never ends, It just goes on and on and on and on my friend.
