Highway Song Lyrics - Stan Ridgway

Everybody knows a highway song 

Sing it with me, people, it won't be long 

Underneath the stars, the devil you say 

What you can't sing now, you better throw away 

I sing a la la la 

And everybody knows how to sing a highway song 

Like a needle in a haystack, I've been searchin' around 

I got a blue steel gun and an old bloodhound 

Slept in a hollow log, make some porcupine wine 

The highway man tells me to walk this time 

Now everybody here knows a highway song 

Sing it loud now, don't sing it so long 

Sing a la la la 

And everybody knows how to sing a highway song 

I'm screamin' down the road, my brain on fire 

I'm lookin' for the scarecrow with a tractor tire 

I've got myself in dust with a TV eye 

And nobody knows but the media guy 

Now everybody here knows a highway song 

Sing it loud now, don't sing it so long 

Sing a la la la 

And everybody knows how to sing a highway song 

Let's hit the highway
