The Refreshments - Highways & byways lyrics

All the bright lights in Memphis were shining As we road into town one rainy night We stopped for a bu*t at the blues cafe While we soon had to be on our way We had a show down the road in Arkansas 'cause down there they thought i was some kind of star they had us playin all night long And they danced to every song Some nights the bossman payed my bar Chorus: My whole life's been highways and byways Broken dreams of designated skyways Life's been flashing by, one day I'll know I'll die somewhere on highways and byways I've been up and down these roads since my teens From Milwaukee down in New Orleans And all I've got is this guitar in my hand My seventy four Chevy and my band If we only had a hit to take us higher Wish i got a song to set the world on fire Now we're going round the same old places Seeing the same old faces Driving this van with worn out tires Chorus: My whole life spring highways and byways Broken dreams of designated sky wings Life's been flashing by, one day I'll know I'll buy Somewhere on highways and byways Somewhere on highways and byways Now I'm calling up my daughter just to see If she wants to come hear the boys and me 'Cause tonight we're playin in our home town And i'd love it if she liked to come down But she tells me she just don't dig our sound (outside) If she hates me for never being around So tonight just ain't no good time And she doesn't have a dime I say you know where I'll be found Chorus:
