Well I can't recall where I'm from
But I think it's where them cowboys are born
Along the highway
Oh along this highway

My momma said when I was born
The look in your eyes
Well I could tell ya's gonna run
Along the highway
Oh along this highway

Land I ride
Oh I see through the smoke
Engine rolls
Carry me on to the west coast
And it's the same sunny race
Oh I see everyday
Risin' above oh a lonesome highway

And all I have are these two hands
And these two thumbs
Hitchin' my way across the land
Along the highway
Oh along this highway

Now I might die a broken man's son
But I will ride until I can reach the sun
Along this highway
Along this highway

My momma said when I was young
The look in your eyes
Well I could tell ya's gonna run
On the highway
Oh along this highway
