Tony Carey - Blue highway lyrics

I set off in a flatbed truck Down the ladder, down on my luck Got a map of the lower 48 Took the first ramp headed down the interstate I had a wife, but she wouldn't have me Left a job, a livin', and a family There was nothin' to keep me; no reason to stay I went lookin' for nothin' down the blue highway And we watched our lives go racin' by The years rolled on in a haze We took time for this, time for that But we never took time babe For the blue highways, highways For the blue highway, highway Why did I ever have any doubts I didn't need to figure it out But out on the road when the nights get black I whistle a tune hey, I'm never goin' back And we watch our lives go racin' by The years rolled on in a haze We took time for this, time for that Let's take a little time baby For the blue highways, highways We spent wasted days believin' We see something past ourselves Yeah we lock our doors behind us 'Cause we know this life so well We never make the deadlines That other people set We speculate about justice While we're grabbin' what we can get Get out on the highway The blue highway There's people in the world You never want to meet Out in the alleys, down in the streets There's people hurtin' people People full of hate People fishin' blindly usin' money for bait We watch our lives go racin' by The years rolled on in a haze We took time for this, time for that But we never took time baby For the blue highways, highways For the blue highways, highways Let's take a little time, for the blue highways The blue, the blue highways
