Stretch of the Highway

  • I was born singing yes I am
    Grew up some kind of travelin' man
    Sunday morning, pack my things
    Say so long sweet potato
    I'm on the road again

    Oh it's a lovely stretch of the highway
    Leading me on
    And my favorite thing is to miss my home
    When I'm gone, soon as I'm gone

    Chi-Town baby, that's my town too
    People pick it right on up, do the looma lamaloo
    Just for example, look at ye yonder
    Chicago's got the finest high-test first-class
    Poontang anywhere

    Oh it's a lovely stretch of the highway
    Leading me on
    And my favorite thing is to miss my home
    When I'm gone, soon as I'm gone

    I want to thank the man that planed the land
    I want to thank the man that towed the load
    In the burning sun and the freezing cold
    I want to thank the man that made this road

    Eisenhower
    Mr. Dwight D
    General Motors
    Big Ol' GMC
    They saw the future
    Yes, indeed
    Eternal combustion
    That's what the country's gonna need

    Oh it's a lovely stretch of the highway
    Leading me on
    And my favorite thing is to miss my home
    When I'm gone, soon as I'm gone

    Tomorrow
    Same as today
    One more time
    Mama that's ok
    Shake your head "yes"
    Shake your head "no"
    Keep it straight and level
    And steady as she goes Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
