Highway Fever Lyrics

Those easy-action formulae lie easy in my mouth

Down streets I walked for ever while my head was blowing South

That same old highway fever keeps burning up my socks

The river keeps on running, I've been too long on the rocks

All along the waterfront the chance is lost and found

I'm halfway back to nowhere but my head is outward bound

I'm on the run, my head is free, my cover has been blown

And still I hate to sing these backstage blues alone

Out beyond the fences windswept trees lay down to die

But I'm staring into limbo as the 19.10 rolls by

And I'm weary to my bones of scavenging for dreams

I'd give my second-best guitar for an unread magazine

I'm weary to my soul and home is far away

Racing into sunrise and another Northern day

I wish I'd half a chance of another drink or two

This train moves too fast, and it's bringing me to you
