  • Take to the highway won't you lend me your name
    Your way and my way seem to be one and the same

    Mama don't understand it
    She wants to know where I've been
    I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool
    To want to pass that way again
    But you know I could feel it
    On a country road

    Sail on home to Jesus won't you good girls and boys
    I'm all in pieces, you can have your own choice
    But I can hear a heavenly band full of angels
    And they're coming to set me free
    I don't know nothing 'bout the why or when
    But I can tell that it's bound to be
    Because I could feel it, child, yeah
    On a country road

    I guess my feet know where they want me to go
    Walking on a country road

    Take to the highway won't you lend me your name
    Your way and my way seem to be one and the same, child
    Mama don't understand it
    She wants to know where I've been
    I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool
    I wanna pass that way again
    But I could feel it, oh
    On a country road

    Walk on down, walk on down, walk on down
    Walk on down, walk on down a country road
    La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
    Country road, oh, yeah
    Walking on a country road

    Country road, uh
