Ray Wylie Hubbard - I've Seen That Old Highway lyrics

[Ray Wylie Hubbard - I've Seen That Old Highway lyrics]

I seen the old highway and what it's
Done to the young and kind
I've seen that highway and what it's
Done to the young and kind
It's made 'em old and mean
Way before their time

It's like a prisoner seeing a
Wild bird in the air
It's like a prisoner seeing a
Wild bird in the air
It's like an old preacher hearing
A new widow's prayer

I seen the old highway and what it's
Done to the young and kind
I've seen that highway and what it's
Done to the young and kind
It's made 'em old and mean
Way before their time

It gives a lonesome sound
Like a ghost a rattling chains
It gives a lonesome sound
Like a ghost a rattling chains
It gives a sorrowful sigh
Like a little church in the rain

I've seen a mother's tears
Heal a heart somehow
I've seen a mother's tears
Heal a heart somehow you're on that highway
Your mama can't help you now

I seen the old highway and what it's
Done to the young and kind
I've seen that highway and what it's
Done to the young and kind
It's made 'em old and mean
Way before their time
It's made 'em old and mean
Way before their time
