Take to the highway won't you lend me your name

Your way and my way seem to be one and the same

Mama don't understand it
She wants to know where I've been

I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool
To want to pass that way again

But you know I could feel it

On a country road

Sail on home to Jesus won't you good girls and boys

I'm all in pieces, you can have your own choice

But I can hear a heavenly band full of angels
And they're coming to set me free

I don't know nothing 'bout the why or when
But I can tell that it's bound to be

Because I could feel it, child, yeah
On a country road

I guess my feet know where they want me to go
Walking on a country road

Take to the highway won't you lend me your name
Your way and my way seem to be one and the same, child…

Mama don't understand it
She wants to know where I've been
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool
To want to pass that way again
But you know I could feel it
On a country road
