Highway Lullaby

Aunt Jesse had a cheap motel, in the basement she ran the local well
Old Chuck Berry on the phonograph, that's where my daddy taught me how to dance, how to dance
When your left don't know what your right hand does
And you feel a little dangerous
Its alright its alright
Let those back seat angels rock you to sleep tonight
Hush now darlin don't you cry
I'm gonna sing you a highway lullaby
Winfield Kansas a quilt of stars
Can't see the road for the snow or another car
In that empty quiet all alone
As high and lonesome as George Jones
But Its alright Its alright
I'll let those back seat angels rock me to sleep tonight
Hush now darlin don't you cry
Its just one more highway lullaby
Miles and miles of asphalt and the rain is coming down
Shifting gears , spinning wheels is the sweetest sound
Hush now darlin don't you cry……
Who knows where this road will lead
Now it all depends which wolves we feed
Keep swimming in this river of doubt
Too damn stubborn to put the fire out it wont go out
Now my left don't know what my right hand does
And I feel a little dangerous
But its alright its alright, I swear its alright
