Artist/Band: Tom T. Hall
Lyrics for Song: Highways
Lyrics for Album: Ballad of Forty Dollars [Mercury] [1969]



(Tom T. Hall)



"It's a traveling song that I like a lot."



Highways take me everywhere I want to go with one exception standing

That road leads into the quiet places in the shadows of your mind

The beaten path of common words can only lead us to misunderstanding

I believe that I can see the love for you that is a greater kind.



Highways take me over the mountains

Into the valleys and out through the plains

Wanting to be in your heart's understanding

I travel each highway in vain.



Highways only take me into places where the average of the crowd goes

Where they affix the standard on the language and emotions of the love

Highways never reach above the ground and cannot know the things a cloud knows

In a million volumes they have never written to express my love.



Highways take me over the mountains

Into the valleys and out through the plains

Wanting to be in your heart's understanding

I travel each highway in vain.



Highways take me over the mountains

Into the valleys and out through the plains

Wanting to be in your heart's understanding

I travel each highway in vain...
