Lyrics
Seasons come and go just like the winding country roads
It's been so long since I have seen my home
The church where I was raised saw the brighter of my days
Now God only knows how I'm alone
So I'm heading back to Louisville in the pale morning light
Running from the heat of sun and law
There's a girl who's waiting there and lord it's more than I can bear
I hope like hell to see her in the fall
I'll sing a highway hymn, out on a western wind
And my road weary soul could use a lift
Sing a highway hymn, and put your hurting in a jar
Cause you know it's where you've been not where you are
I've crossed the Mississippi in the driving summer rain
And no A/C in Mojave can drive a man insane
Fought the bear in Colorado, broke my window, hell if I know
What ole buddy wanted with my ride
I've tripped up there in Michigan down through the lowland swamp
Saw the sunrise o'er the Columbia too
Been lost down in New Orleans, stumbled in and read my fortune
They said that I'd be coming home to you
I'll sing a highway hymn, out on a western wind
And my road weary soul could use a lift
Sing a highway hymn, and put your hurting in a jar
Cause you know it's where you've been not where you are
The road runs off with all my memories
The good the bad, the in between
Friends I often take for granted
Love it when they sing with me
We'll sing a highway hymn, out on a western wind
And our road weary souls could use a lift
Sing a highway hymn, and put your hurting in a jar
Cause you know it's where you've been not where you are
You know it's where you've been not where you are
