This Highways Mine — текст песни (Steve Earle)

Im running down this highway

Dont remember where I slept last night

I just remember halfway through the night

I woke up stiff with fright

I dreamed there was no asphalt

I dreamed there was no gasoline

Felt like a rat caught in some nowhere town

I woke up and screamed

This highway

This highway

This highway

This highway

This highway

This highways mine



I grew up on the dragstrip

I used to shut em down

I used to take their pinkslips

Theres a sucker born in every town

I never showed no mercy

I blew them all away

They stood there and cursed me

As I towed their lives away



I used to run the cocaine

I used to run the weed

These days Im just running

Tryin to make this highway bleed

Sometimes the only difference tween me and this machine

Is I run on desperation

She runs on gasoline



Im the roadmaster

The asphalt blaster

Mess with me and Ill shut you down

The bad thing

The highway king and Ive come to claim my kingdom now
