Lyrics

Highway Man

Highway Man ............. on the move again
Breakfast in Tennessee, supper in New York City
It?s such a good life from the outside lookin in
Biscuits, bacon, and eggs, a waitress with pretty legs
Highway Man

He knows it?s rainin in Breezewood tonight
Freezin by the time he hits the Pennsylvania turnpike
His eyes are almost closed, one wheel?s off the road
Coffee from Howard Johnson?s is way past cold

Highway man he was never home, but he always did his best
Gave me his heart and soul, my mom gave me the rest
A purple heart and love letters , that?s all I have left
And memories of the stories he told when he came home to rest
Highway Man ....................... Highway Man

My mom starched his shirts and kissed him on the cheek
Never said be careful just ?Honey I?ll see you next week?
Bringin up three kids, five hundred miles away
He forgot how old they were, missed a lot of holidays
He thought about his wife, she knew he had to leave
They both hoped the other was where they were supposed to be

Highway man he was never home, but he always did his best
Gave me his heart and soul, my mom gave me the rest
A purple heart and love letters that?s all I have left
And memories of the stories he told when he came home to rest

Not a day goes by that I don?t think of him
Especially at night when the big trucks flash their lights
Highway Man ..................... Highway Man

Highway man he was never home, but he always did his best
Gave me his heart and soul, my mom gave me the rest
A purple heart and love letters that?s all I have left
And memories of the stories he told when he came home to rest
Highway Man......Highway Man......Highway Man......Highway Man
