Our Lady Of The Highways

I'm here in Philadelphia, she got stuck down in DC

It's a wretched night, it's raining, but she's coming up to meet me

There's nothing I can do

By the time she gets halfway, she'll be tired of 95

The spray off those trucks sucks and I hope that she gets here alive

And Our Lady of the Highways, keep my baby straight tonight

Guide her safely down the road and keep her always in the light

Let the sad moon looking down on me shine bright as she comes here

Til Our Lady of the Highways may appear

Sometimes the weather's worse when you have some place to be

Like the time I drove to Boston in the snow from New York City

Frozen to the bone

And the airplanes flew high above on metal wings and prayers

And we tried to find some radio hoping one day we'd get there

And Our Lady of the Highways, keep my baby straight tonight

Guide her safely down the road and keep her always in the light

Let the sad moon looking down on me shine bright as she comes here

Til Our Lady of the Highways may appear

And I guess she always gets here, heaven knows just how she does

And that statue of Our Lady is crying tears of love

Now I'm in San Francisco, it's a town too hard for love

She's driving from Seattle, eight hundred miles above me

Why are we apart?

So please don't let the fog roll heavy on that highway 5

I want her here soon, but I want her here alive

And Our Lady of the Highways, keep my baby straight tonight

Guide her safely down the road and keep her always in the light

Let the sad moon looking down on me shine bright as she comes here

Til Our Lady of the Highways may appear

Til Our Lady of the Highways may appear
