Our Lady Of The Highways Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

I'm here in Philadelphia 

She got caught down in DC 

It's a wretched night, it's raining 

But she's coming up to meet me 

There's nothing I can do 

By the time she gets halfway 

She'll be tired of 95 

The spray off those trucks sucks 

I hope she gets through alive 

Our Lady of the Highways 

Keep my baby straight tonight 

Guide her safely down the road 

Keep her always in the light 

Let the sad moon looking down on me 

Shine bright as she comes here 

'Til Our Lady of the Highways 

May appear 

Sometimes the weather's worst 

When you have some place to be 

Like the time we drove to Boston 

In the snow from New York City 

Frozen to the bone 

And we saw the planes fly high above 

On metal wings and prayers 

And tried to find some radio 

Hoping one day we would be there 

Our Lady of the Highways 

Keep my baby straight tonight 

Guide her safely down the road 

Keep her always in the light 

Let the sad moon looking down on me 

Shine bright as she comes here 

'Til Our Lady of the Highways 

May appear 

And I guess she always gets here 

Heaven knows just how she does 

And that statue of our Lady 

Is crying tears of love 

Now I'm in San Francisco 

A town too hard for love 

She's driving from Seattle 

800 miles above me 

Why are we apart? 

So please don't let the fog roll 

Heavy on that Highway 5 

I want her here so soon 

But I want her here alive 

Our Lady of the Highways 

Keep my baby straight tonight 

Guide her safely down the road 

Keep her always in the light 

Let the sad moon looking down on me 

Shine bright as she comes here 

'Til Our Lady of the Highways 

May appear
