          HIGHWAY BLUES

          by Charles Reeves

          I've always been a working man
          But retirement age has come to me
          There's places I ain't been
          Things I always wante to see
          So I loaded my old truck
          Crossed my fingers for the luck
          And headed out west for the Mountains tall
          I love to hear the robins sing,
          See the flowers in the spring
          And I love the Aspens in the fall.


          Where I'm going I don't care
          They can take me anywhere
          Long as the tires keep going 'round
          I got traveling in my veins
          Always been a family man
          But I still love that ol' highway sound.


          Walking down the sidewalk
          Seeing things I ain't seen before
          Puts a lightness in my step.
          Wish I could of done this more
          Great someone with a "How do you do?"
          He says to me "how are you?"
          Without another word we walk on by
          Got my truck keys in my hand
          Breakfast waiting round the bend
          I'll eat then tell this town good-bye.


          Where I'm going I don't care
          They can take me anywhere
          Long as the tires keep going 'round
          I got traveling in my veins
          Always been a family man
          But I still love that ol' highway sound.
