lyrics

(Lyrics by JohnnyF)

Shook the highway up an' down
Left an' right, in an' out
Left an' right, in an' out
Shook the highway up an' down

Stuck to the tar it's dips an hills
Thru the bone cold night thru the hail an' mist
Thru the bone cold night thru the hail an' mist
Stuck to the tar it's dips an hills

Chorus:
Sang my sorrow in the engine's key
Ran that engine on melancholy
From a thunderbolt to a bawlin' peak
Sang my sorrow in the engine's key

Plucked a psalm a reverential leaf
From the catholic branch of a roman tree
From the catholic branch of a roman tree
I plucked a psalm a reverential leaf

Chorus:

Looked for the rock for the starry sky
That got me a home, got me a wife
Safe as a house homin' device
Looked for the rock for the starry sky

Did I mistake that gem, hold it too high
Believe that love would see me right
The wife not cheat, the light not misguide
An' take me on across to the oncoming side


Chorus
