Lonnie Donegan - Interstate Forty lyrics

Walkin' down the shoulder of Interstate Forty cussin' every rock that I kick Since I lost everything in the last depression I've just give up and I've quit But I'm happy tho I ain't had nothing since morning but a cold drink and a pie And it rained up the road bout an hour ago but I've walked these brogans dry But that's just life our on Interstate 40 but I'm a happy son of a gun The governments givin' me Interstate 40 and the good Lord's give me a thumb Now you gotta be careful out on Interstate 40 cause the highway men ain't dumb There's a law against hikin' out on Interstate 40 so you gotta know who to thumb But if you're like me you wouldn't mind at all cause what the law calls punishment Is ninety wonderful days of patching up old Interstate 40 cement Oh that's just life our on Interstate 40... Now the world's my castle and the gra** my carpet and my heart is all my own The rains my bath and a Interstate 40 is my home sweet home sweet home Now when I die just plant me close to where the big trucks whine and moan Just anywhere along ole Interstate 40 will rest my weary bones Oh that's just life our on Interstate 40... The good Lord's give me a thumb the good Lord's give me a thumb
