Lyrics

Well, an oth er day

an oth er dol (C)lar,

(Em)af ter I’ve sang and (C)hol lered.

Oh, it’s my way of liv ing, and I can’t change a thing.

An oth er town is draw ing near.

Oh, (Em)ba by, I wish you were here.

The on ly way I can see (D)you, dar ling, is in my dreams.

It’s a high way (Am7)song.

You sing it (D)on and on,

on and on.

Well, the (Em)hurt you leave be hind

is the (Em)hurt that’s on your (C)mind.

Oh, and last night sure took its toll on (Em)me.

Well, the (Em)cit y lights fly by (C)me,

as I (Em)lay my bod y in my bed,

oh, and dreams of you dance through my head.

It’s a high way (Am7)song.

You sing it (D)on and on,

on and on.

High way (C)song

is as (D)lone ly

as the road I’m on.

(Em)Ah.

(Em)Ah.

(C)Ah.

Yes, those (Em)big wheels are read y to roll;

we’ve been (Em)flyin’ high and slow.

Lord, and all this mad (D)ness ain’t as cra zy as it (Em7)seems.

Ev ’ry where, they stop and stare.

I’m just a (Em)strang er on this road.

Oh, I stand a lone on ly in my dreams.

High way (Am7)song.

You sing it (D)on and on,

on and on.

High way (Cmaj7)song

is as (D)lone ly

as the road I’m on.

(Em)Well, high way (Am7)song.

You sing it (D)on and on,

on and on.

High way (Cmaj7)song

is as (D)lone ly

as the road I’m on.

(Em)Well, high way as the road I’m on,

(C)on,

(D)on.

(D)Ooh, ooh.
