Highway 87
Is a dangerous place to be
When you pissed off all the local boys
And your back's against the sea
The cops all know your number
The bars all know your name
After six straight months of drinkin' boy
You ain't never gonna be the same
Well I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I can't remember when
I may not know where I'm goin'
But I sure know where I've been
The sheriff he been watchin'
Every move that I make
And one of these days he's a-gonna arrest me
For all the time I take
The local girls all act
Like I just ain't their kind
Paintin' on their precious nails
And wastin' their sweet minds
Well I'd give half of Texas
If I could find a friend
I may not know where I'm goin'
But I sure know where I've been
Well the coast is disappearing
As they line up on the beach
Doin' all those little things
That Sunday School don't teach
Jim Beam by the fire
Cocaine in the stash
Baseball bat on the floorboard
Shotgun on the dash
And you may lose your mind
Go walkin' round the bend
You may not know where you're goin'
But you'll sure know where you been
Highway 87
Is a dangerous place to be
When you pissed off all the local boys
And your back's against the sea
The cops all know your number
The bars all know your name
After six straight months of drinkin' boy
You ain't never gonna be the same
Well I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I can't remember when
I may not know where I'm goin'
But I sure know where I've been
