Blue Highway

 

 

People don’t pick you up on the Blue Highway

Oh, the Blue Highway is the road you travel alone

People sure ain’t gonna look you up on the Blue Highway

Oh the Blue Highway just keeps leadin’ you on

 

I left Chicago movin’ slow, on down to San Francisco

I was tryin’ to lose them old Chicago blues

And if I don’t find no kind of sunshine in old California

Well I just don’t want to live this old life of mine

 

People don’t pick you up on the Blue Highway

Oh, the Blue Highway is the road you travel alone

People sure ain’t gonna look you up on the Blue Highway

Oh the Blue Highway just keeps leadin’ you on

 

I remember all the times when I felt so lonely

Another losin’ night of losin’ fight all around me

I got no more jobs

I got no more snobs out on this highway

All I go left is this old blue melody

 

People don’t pick you up on the Blue Highway

Oh, the Blue Highway is the road you travel alone

People sure ain’t gonna look you up on the Blue Highway

Oh the Blue Highway just keeps leadin’ you on
