Highway Man

Buck Owens · A Night on the Town [1968]

(Doyle Holly)



I'm a highway man everybody knows

I don't let the grass grow beneath my toes

I just gotta see where the wild goose goes

I'm a highway man, I'm a rollin' stone.



I just gotta see what over the hill

never settle down, yes, I never will

A whistle blows and I gotta roll

I'm a highway man, I'm a rollin' stone.



--- Instrumental ---



I'm up every morning after crack of dawn

I'm off to see those hearts I known

If someone asks say I've been here and gone

I'm a highway man, I'm a rollin' stone.



A rock for my pillow and the road for my bed

The sky's my blanket it covers my head

I'm like a wind I ain't got no home

I'm a highway man, I'm a rollin' stone.



I'm a rollin' stone, I'm a rollin' stone...
