Give Me The Highway

Vince Gill · These Days [2006]

(feat. The Del McCoury Band)



Chorus:

Give me the highway

Lord knows I love to roam

Give me the highway

I can hear the lonesome whistle moan

White lines, neon signs, have always been my home

Give me the highway

'Cause I was born a rollin' stone.



Down every road I travel

Lord to you might look the same

But maybe you might tell me

Why every town's got a different name

I'd like to find a woman

That wasn't hell-bent to tie me down

Someone to be content

To go anywhere I'm bound.



Chorus:

Give me the highway

Lord knows I love to roam

Give me the highway

I can hear the lonesome whistle moan

White lines, neon signs, have always been my home

Give me the highway

'Cause I was born a rollin' stone.



Chorus:

Give me the highway

Lord knows I love to roam

Give me the highway

I can hear the lonesome whistle moan

White lines, neon signs, have always been my home

Give me the highway

'Cause I was born a rollin' stone.



Give me the highway

'Cause I was born a rollin' stone...
