Another morning waits for me,
Each day another mystery.

Roy Acuff: "Wreck on the Highway"

When I heard the crash on the highway
I knew what it was from the start.
I went to the scene of destruction
And a picture was stamped on my heart.
There was whiskey and blood all together
Mixed with glass where they lay
Death played her hand in destruction
But I didn't hear nobody pray.

Alabama: "Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler)"

Daddy drives an eighteen-wheeler
And they sure miss him when he's gone (yeah they do)
Ah, but he calls them every night
And he tells them that he loves them
And he taught them this song to sing"
Roll on highway, roll on along
Roll on daddy till ya get back home
Roll on family, roll on crew
Roll on momma like I asked you to do
And roll on eighteen-wheeler roll on. (roll on.)

American Music Club: "Highway 5"

Takes so much to make us feel like we're alive
A weary traveler at a smooth seventy-five
Make pretend the landscape ain't so dry
Do anything to maintain a lie
To the left, a beautiful California landscape
Dead ends in the sky
And to the right, beautiful mountains rise
High and dry
Another futile expression of bitterness
Another overwhelming sensation of uselessness.

And my eighteen wheels just keep on spinnin'
Round that Frisco bay.

Stretched out straight in a line

I get my thrill behind the wheel
Yes I was born to drive.

Eve 6: "Open Road Song"

This is an open road song
The night is becokoning although I have nowhere to go but home
Feels good to be alone

As I pour my poor heart out
To a radio song that's patient and willing to listen
My volume drowns it out.

And there was thunder, thunder over Thunder Road
Thunder was his engine, and white lightning was his load
There was moonshine, moonshine to quench the Devil's thirst

Roarin' out of Harlan, revvin' up his mill
He shot the gap at Cumberland, and screamed by Maynordsville
With T-men on his taillights, roadblocks up ahead
The mountain boy took roads that even Angels feared to tred.

Blazing right through Knoxville, out on Kingston Pike,
Then right outside of Bearden, they made the fatal strike.
He left the road at 90; that's all there is to say.
The devil got the moonshine and the mountain boy that day.

Used Cars: "The Highway"

Drivin' on a road it was late in the night
The rear view mirror showed me nothing but darkness
Upon the things I've left behind . . . .
I guess I'm just this kind of guy
I stop sometimes but just for a while
And then I start to ride again
Til this blacktop river will show its end.

Townes Van Zandt: "Ain't Leavin' Your Love"

Mr. Gator, he's a slidin' down the bayou
Mr. Buzzard, he's a glidin' thru the air
Mr. Turtle, he's a hittin' the highway
Well I ain't goin' nowhere
I ain't leavin' your love
Ain't leavin' your love, babe
Not for heaven above, babe
I ain't leavin your love.

Townes Van Zandt: "Highway Kind"

My days, they are the highway kind
They only come to leave
But the leavin' I don't mind
It's the comin' that I crave.

Townes Van Zandt: "White Freight Liner Blues"

I'm goin out on the highway
Listen to them big trucks whine
I'm goin out on the highway
Listen to them big trucks whine

Clay Walker: "Heartache Highway"

Heartache highway why didn't I say
What she wanted to hear?
Why must the most important words go unspoken
Heartache highway now it's too late
To ever change her mind
Oh it's a hell of a road
When you're leavin' heaven behind.

Waterboys: "Ahead Down The Highway"

I'm heading down this highway
I'm heading down this road
I'm heading down this highway
It's a long road, I'm told
But I don't mind.

Johnny "Guitar" Watson: "Highway 60"

Highway 60, seems like it has no end,
Highway 60, oh yeah, seems like it has no end
Have to find my baby, because she's my only friend
Went down to Houston, just four nights ago,
Even went through Galveston, down the Gulf of Mexico
Stopped in Oklahoma, and I covered all the ground,
Looking for my baby, because she couldn't be found.

Hank Williams: "Lost Highway"

Now boys don't start to ramblin' round
On this road of sin are you sorrow bound
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
You started rollin' down that lost highway
Lost highway.

Hank Williams, Jr.: "Stoned At The Jukebox"

Lord knows, I been runnin' up and down this ol' Interstate 65,
I loved a Nashville, Tennessee high falutin' woman I tried,
Now I'm busted stone flat down in Springhill.
I got nothin' but time and the bottles to kill,
Well, I never thought I could ever feel like that.

Lee Ann Womack: "A Man With Eighteen Wheels"

He's been gone for ten long days
Burnin' up that Interstate
He's got a run from coast to coast
I've got one more night to go
Oh I love a man with 18 wheels
Seventy feet of polished steel
Baby makes his livin' on the road.

Neil Young: "Changing Highways"

We're changing highways
In heavy traffic
See the lights turn
To something graphic
With my suitcase and my brew
I come in your room.

Neil Young: "Highway Of Our Love"

Looking forward, all that I can see,
Is good things happening to you and to me.
I'm not waiting for times to change.
I'm going to live like a free-roamin' soul,
On the highway of our love.

Neil Young: "Long May You Run"

Maybe the Beach Boys have got you now
With those waves singing "Caroline No"
Rollin' down that empty ocean road
Gettin' to the surf on time.

ZZ Top: "Pan Am Highway Blues"

I've gotten good at missin' her
I practice all the time
While I drive the pan am highway thru
With that cactus friend of mine
It's getting' hard to see the white line rollin' by
I can't forget her memory deep inside.
