Marian Call - Highway Five Lyrics
I'm packing up again to take a drive down old familiar Highway FiveWhere every curve feels like a friendI've traveled north and south since I was born for family, friends, love, and warI know this road from end to end, hiyiyiThis is my coast, this is my home, from San Diego up to NomeHaven't seen it all yet but I willAnd I want to memorize it, every inch, want to remember where I've beenI bless these waves, I bless this wind, I bless this grace and all my sinsI mean to take the side streets where I can, maps and the cost of gas be damnedThe miles are only miles for meSo I breeze through my familiar ports of call, Rice Hill, Ukiah, Kelso, allright where I know they’re s’posed to be, hiyiyi...Looks to be a year of go and touch -- leaning on my coffee like a crutchWith shards of daydreams in my handsAnd the hot springs and the cold creeks, the lonely Bay and the long long weeksWill frame my jokes & penetrate my plans, hiyiyi ...Road'll grind you down you give it time, but there are those that don’t much mindOur corners start to curving 'til we shineTraveling don’t make me special, no, I am just one more lonely soulTrying hard to try hard to stay kind, yiyiyiThis is my ghost, this is my home -- millions of miles my mind can’t ownNo one’s seen it all; no one willBut I want to memorize it, every inch, want to remember where I’ve beenI bless these waves, I bless this wind, bless this grace & all my sins
