Blackfoot - Highway Song
Highway Song is a song recorded by the American southern rock band Blackfoot and the lead single from their third studio album Strikes (1979). It reached #26 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was recorded in the key of E minor with no key changes throughout. While the single version maintains its tempo throughout, the album version increases its speed at the close of the lyrical portion through the song's ending.
Highway Song has often been considered similar to the song "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, particularly because it closes out with a long guitar solo.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Well, another day, another dollar
After I've sang and hollered
Oh, it's my way of livin' and I can't change a thing
Another town is drawin' near
Oh, baby, I wish you were here
But the only way I can see you, darlin', is in my dreams
[Chorus]
It's a highway song
You sing it on and on
On and on
[Verse 2]
Well, the hurt you leave behind
Its the hurt that's on your mind
Oh, and last night's show took its toll on me
Well, the city lights fly by me
As I lay my body in my bed
Oh, and dreams of you dance through my head
[Chorus]
It's a highway song
You sing it on and on
On and on
Highway song
Is as lonely
As the road I'm on
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Oh
Oh
Oh-oh-oh
[Verse 3]
It's those big wheels are ready to roll
We've been flyin' high and so low
Lord, and all this madness ain't as crazy as it seems
Everywhere they stop to stare
I'm just a stranger on this road
Oh, I stand alone only in my dream
[Chorus]
Highway song
You sing it on and on
On and on
Highway song
Is as lonely
As the road I'm on
Well, highway song (Highway song)
Sing it on and on
On and on (On and on)
Highway song
Is as lonely
As the road I'm on
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooh-whoo
[Guitar Solo / Instrumental Outro]
