Highway Halo

Old Crow Medicine Show · Tennessee Pusher [2008]

Driving rain

Narrow shoulder

Breakdown lane

Marching forward

Going where I do not know

One eye on the open road

Stepping out in the great unknown

With a highway halo



Shaky face

Lily Kimball

Patron saint

Traveling minstrel

Let her dusty wings unfold

Forgive her bad luck soul

Put her in a purple robe

And a highway halo



Passing trains

Sound like silver

Broken chains

Shine like gold

Fortune's just a painted stone

Going where them hobos roam

Crowned king of a jungle throne

With a highway halo



Going where it suits my soul

Can't you hear my big wheels roll

You can light up the darkest road

With a beam of eternal glow

With a highway

With a highway

With a highway halo
