Lyric Blue Highway

(Featuring Chet Atkins) Written by: Neil Diamond and Harlan Howard

So long big city
It s time to say goodbye
I m longing for those country roads
I need to see the sky
Think I ll take a swing down south
Visit Tennessee
See if that girl Annie
Still remembers me

Gonna take that blue highway
And leave this sorry town
Stayed too long, but now I m gone
And I know where I m bound
I don t wanna take the interstate
It represents all the things I hate
I m rolling down that blue highway

So long confusion
It s time to slow things down
Say goodbye to my old friends
Ease on out of town
I made me some money here
I paid for every day
And every mile just makes me smile
Cause I ve made my getaway

Gonna take that blue highway
And leave this sorry town
Stayed too long, but now I m gone
And I know where I m bound
I ve had it up to here with worry
From now on I m in no hurry
Rolling down that blue highway

I ll be rolling down that blue highway
You can find me on that blue highway
