Diamond Neil Blue Highway lyrics

Words and Music by Neil Diamond and Harlan Howard
So long, big city; it`s time to say goodbye.
I`m longing for those country roads;
I need to see the sky.
Think I`ll take a swing down south, visit Tennessee.
See if that girl Annie still remembers me.

Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town.
Stayed too long, but now I`m gone, and I know where I`m bound.
I don`t wanna take the interstate; it represents all the things I hate.
I`m rollin` down that blue highway.

So long, confusion; it`s time to slow things down.
Say goodbye to my old friends, ease on out of town.
I made me some money here but paid for ev`ry day.
And ev`ry mile just makes me smile, `cause I made my getaway.

Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town.
I`ve stayed too long, but now I`m gone, and I know where I`m bound.
I`ve had it up to here with worry.
From now on, I`m in no hurry, rollin` down that blue highway.

I`ll be ridin` that blue highway and leave this sorry town.
I`ve stayed too long, but now I`m gone, and I know where I`m bound.
I`ve had it up to here with worry.
From now on, I`m in no hurry, rollin` down that blue highway.
I`ll be rollin` down that blue highway.
You can find me on that blue highway.
