lyrics

The Old Highway

Intro: Dm7 Gm7 x4

Dm7 Gm7 etc
This aint no Bates Motel
Ma’s still kicking strong
But the shadows are growing long
On this side of town

Formica turns to grey
The neon’s lost its shine
Noone’s gonna sip no wine
In the Buddy Holly bar F Dm7
And the old highway Am7
Is gathering moss
Dm7 Bb
Its been awhile since anyone crossed F C
The old highway

I’m waiting for that senorita
Who’s car’s spitting steam
Who’ll give me a look that’s lean
And stay the night

I’ll fry up some steaks
Put new candles on the sills
Play music from the hills
And wear my Sunday school smile

And the old highway
Will sing again
Here’s a place to hide from the rain
On the old highway

Verse instrumental

Bb Dm7
There’s a chill in the air
Gm7 Dm7
And the wind’s blowing hard
F Dm7
The till is empty Am7
Like my backroad heart

And the old highway
Aged another year
There aint no jamboree here
On the old highway
Yeh the old highway
Is closed for the night
And the brushwood sails like a kite
On the old highway
