Well Im leavin this mornin baby
Gonna ride that new highway
Yeah Im leavin this mornin baby
Gonna ride that new highway
And the more you cry the more you gonna drive me away.
I aint got no family
Aint got no wife or no child
I aint got no family
Aint got no wife, no child
Aint got no religion, Im just out here runnin wild.
Well a rich mans got money
And a poor mans only got his soul
Yeah rich mans got the money baby
Poor boy only got his soul
But I got this new highway and I dont care where I go.
Well this new highway baby
Takes me from town to town
Yeah this new highway baby
Takes me from town to town
Where some sweet angel always lets me lay down.
Well my Kansas womans got
Skin as white as snow
Yeah my Kansas City babys got
Skin as white as snow
But my Deep Ellum womans got hair as black as coal.
Well your lovers will leave you baby
Good friends will come and go
Yeah your lovers will leave you baby
Good friends come and go
But this new highways the best friend Ive ever known.
Now the gold suns settin baby
Silver moon on the rise
Yeah the gold suns settin baby
Silver moon on the rise
Gonna ride this highway til the day I die.
