Dave Alvin - New Highway Lyrics
Dave Alvin(Blue Horn Toad Music, BMI, Administered by Bug Music)Well I'm leavin' this mornin' babyGonna ride that new highwayYeah I'm leavin' this mornin' babyGonna ride that new highwayAnd the more you cry the more you gonna drive me away.I ain't got no familyAin't got no wife or no childI ain't got no familyAin't got no wife, no childAin't got no religion, I'm just out here runnin' wild.Well a rich man's got moneyAnd a poor man's only got his soulYeah rich man's got the money babyPoor boy only got his soulBut I got this new highway and I don't care where I go.Well this new highway babyTakes me from town to townYeah this new highway babyTakes me from town to townWhere some sweet angel always lets me lay down.Well my Kansas woman's gotSkin as white as snowYeah my Kansas City baby's gotSkin as white as snowBut my Deep Ellum woman's got hair as black as coal.Well your lovers will leave you babyGood friends will come and goYeah your lovers will leave you babyGood friends come and goBut this new highway's the best friend I've ever known.Now the gold sun's settin' babySilver moon on the riseYeah the gold sun's settin' babySilver moon on the riseGonna ride this highway til the day I die.
