The Low Highway Lyrics - The Low Highway [cd/dvd Deluxe] - Steve Earle

Travelin' now 

On the low highway 

Three thousand miles 

To the Frisco Bay 

Cross the rivers wild 

And the lonesome plains 

Up the coast and down 

And back again 

Saw empty houses on a dead end street 

People linin up for something to eat 

And the ghost of America watching me 

Through the broken windows of the factories 

Pickin bones of a better day 

As I roll on the down the low highway

Travelin' now 

On the low highway 

By the yellow moon 

And the light of day 

From the snow white crown 

Of the mountain tall 

To the valley down 

Where the shadows fall 

Met a man with a rifle in his hand 

Been away to battle in a distant land 

Taught him to hate taught him to kill 

Now he's out on the road with a hole to fill 

Nobody knows the price he paid 

So he takes his toll on the low highway 

Travelin' now 

On the low highway 

Windows down 

Listenin 

Photos 

Wheels turnin round 

On the asphalt sayin 

Every sound 

Is a prophecy 

Heard and old man grumble and a young girl cry 

Brick wall crumble and the white dove fly 

And a cry for justice and a call for peace 

Force of reason in the roar of the beast 

And every mile is a prayer I prayed 

As I roll down 

The low highway
