Highway Blues Lyrics - Harper Roy

Take a look down your highway 

Tell me what d'you see 

Well if you're down my way 

It could well be me 

Stood on your corner 

I'm nearly down on one knee 

Can you hear me calling for you 

So damn easy to see 

And it can't be forever 

And it won't be for long 

So don't you think that it's better 

We speak the same tongue 

Out here in this weather 

We must surely belong 

Birds of a feather 

Whatever the song: 

Please give me a lift man 

It can't be for far 

The way that you shift man 

In your empty car, 

I've got the highway blues 

In my holy (holey, wholly) shoes 

And I cannot choose 

What I look like 

And I got here from yesterday 

On porridge and bait 

Swallowing sorrow 

Following fate 

Poaching tomorrow 

From God and the state 

Of homo his shadow 

The well known long haired straight 

But I've got a good reason 

For being this way 

I'm happy for certain 

And hoping to stay 

Travelling trust 

Across the new day 

Gathering dust 

Down your highway 

Please give me a lift man... 

It can't be for far 

The way that you shift man 

In your empty car 

I've got the highway blues 

In my holy shoes 

And I cannot choose 

What I look like 

Out on the streets 

Or where my drum beats 

In between the clean sheets 

Of my love life 

And I need little Margaret 

Out here again 

Screwing some traffic 

From the shaven insane 

With thumbs like a dragnet 

She pulls like a train 

And she looks like a magnet; 

And she comes like a warm rain 

Please give me a lift man, etc
