Текст (слова) песни: Ricky Skaggs - Highway 40 Blues
Well, these Highway Forty blues, I`ve walked holes in both my shoes. Counted the days since I`ve been gone, And I`d love to see the lights of home. Wasted time and money too; Squandered youth in search of truth. But in the end I had to lose, Lord above, I`ve paid my dues. Got the Highway Forty blues.
The highway called when I was young, Told me lies of things to come. Fame and fortune lies ahead! That`s what the billboard lights had said. Shattered dreams, my mind is numb, My money`s gone, stick out my thumb. My eyes are filled with bitter tears, Lord, I ain`t been home in years. Got the Highway Forty blues.
Instrumental Break.
You know, I`ve rambled all around, Like a rolling stone, from town to town. Met pretty girls I have to say, But none of them could make me stay. Well, I`ve played the music halls and bars, Had fancy clothes and big fine cars: Things a country boy can`t use, Dixieland I sure miss you. Got the Highway Forty blues.
