Highway Kid
[Verse 1]
Five hundred thousand I can't count 'em, miles on the road
From the hills of South Carolina to the California coast
Coming out of Texas where the armadillos roam
Can't stay long from the biggest skies that I've ever known
Head west to Arizona, northeast to the Hudson Bay
I've got family in that Windy City looking for a free place to stay
The mountains of Colorado, and those hills in Tennessee
A red carpet made of asphalt rolling out in front of me
[Chorus]
I'm the highway kid
Doing what my heroes did
And I'm on my way through the USA
[Verse 2]
My voice knows how to love someone
My foot knows how to drive
My heart lies with my girl at homе
I'll be back by summertime
Wеll, Terry, Allen, Willis in town
To keep me company
Road's worn down by lesser men
Staying by the lines they sing
[Chorus]
I'm the highway kid
Doing what my heroes did
And I'm on my way through the USA
[Chorus]
I'm the highway kid
Doing what my heroes did
And I'm on my way through the USA, yeah
