Drive-By Truckers - 72 (This Highway’s Mean) lyrics
[Drive-By Truckers - 72 This Highway’s Mean lyrics]
Don't know why they even bother putting
This highway on the map
Everybody that's ever been on it
Knows exactly where they're at
Hell's on both ends of it
And nowhere's in between this highway's mean
Seems like it's always hot down here
No matter when you come
It's the kind of heat that holds you
Like a mama holds her son
Tight when he tries to walk
Even tighter if he runs
It's a mean old dusty highway
But, it's the only one that'll get you there
That'll get you there mean old highway
Stuck to the ground in Mississippi
It's the one'll set me free
It's the same one that I see
Being ripped up off the ground
And wrapped around me
Don't let it fool you this highway's mean
I don't need a map to tell
Me where I am today
This feeling that I have has
Always led the way
Down here, you're running from a broken heart
Or to a heart that you have to
Break on this mean old highway
This highway on the map
Everybody that's ever been on it
Knows exactly where they're at
Hell's on both ends of it
And nowhere's in between this highway's mean
Seems like it's always hot down here
No matter when you come
It's the kind of heat that holds you
Like a mama holds her son
Tight when he tries to walk
Even tighter if he runs
It's a mean old dusty highway
But, it's the only one that'll get you there
That'll get you there mean old highway
Stuck to the ground in Mississippi
It's the one'll set me free
It's the same one that I see
Being ripped up off the ground
And wrapped around me
Don't let it fool you this highway's mean
I don't need a map to tell
Me where I am today
This feeling that I have has
Always led the way
Down here, you're running from a broken heart
Or to a heart that you have to
Break on this mean old highway
