Stan Ridgway - Highway Song lyrics

Everybody knows a highway song Sing it with me people Underneath the stars, the devil you say What you can't sing now, you better throw away Chorus: I sing a-la-la-la-la-lalalala And everybody knows how to sing a highway song Like a needle in a haystack, i've been searchin' round I got a bluesteel gun, and an old bloodhound Slept in a hollow log, make some porcupine wine The highwayman tells me to walk this time Now everybody here knows a highway song Sing it loud, now, i've been singin' so long Sing a-la-la-la-la-lalalala And everybody knows how to sing a highway song « smoke that wood! » I'm screamin' down the road, my brain on fire I'm lookin' for the scarecrow with a tractor tire « i've got myself in dust with a tv eye And nobody knows but the media guy » Chorus repeat Let's hit the highway Ah-wooooo!
