Rabbit on a Highway - Mathew Newsam

Living on the highway l russell/d nix It was twenty years ago, i was about fourteen years old, When i first heard that wolfman's howl. He sneaked me through the door, there was whisky on the floor, And the fuzz they were on the prowl It seems so long ago, I'm living on the highway now He's a giant of a man, he always understands The very best notes to use His hand make two of mine, his heart beat right on time He taught me how to sing the blues He's the reason why i choose to live on the highway now I played the blues with walter, and muddy pulled me through I know a jimmy rogers song or two But there's one thing i know, no matter where i go I can do a little howling too That's why i sing these blues, i'm living on the highway now The years have come and gone but the blues still go on I only sing my songs for fun If you ask me to, i'll do a song for you, 'Cause the women like to see me come Me and my guitar, my band, we're living on the highway now

And the headlights on the highway cannot help me understand Whatever it is you need I pray I am You were nothing but a smile A nervous laughter Spend the evenings in your dark blue cotton sheets And I spent years it seems just wandering through the darkness Then the answer came on that late summer breeze And the headlights on the highway cannot help me understand Whatever it is you need I pray I am With my fingertips I trace on your bare skin All of the things I'd like to say but cannot speak You mean everything There're not quite words enough to tell you All the things that you've become for me And the headlights on the highway cannot help me understand Whatever it is you need I pray I am And I don't need no secrets I give up on lies If it's gonna rain I'd rather know then be caught blind And the headlights on the highway cannot help me understand Whatever it is you need I pray I am And the headlights on the highway cannot help me understand Whatever it is you need I pray I am

I need, I feel a love You love to love the fear I never wanna be alone I've forgotten to The road keeps moving the clouds The clouds become unreal I guess I'll always be at home Do you want me to try Directing your night? An exit lights the sky The sky becomes complete Traveling hearts divide the throne I've forgotten to Friction, lines, bumps The highway song complete The signs are all turning right Do you want me to try Directing your night? Want me to try Directing your light The purest forms of life Our days are never coming back The cannons of our time Our days are never coming back The purest forms of life Our days are never coming back The cannons of our time Our days are never ever coming back Days are never coming back Our days are never coming back Our days are never coming back

Life's like a road that you travel on When there's one day here and the next day gone Sometimes you bend and sometimes you stand Sometimes you turn your back to the wind There's a world outside every darkened door Where blues won't haunt you anymore Where brave are free and lovers soar Come ride with me to the distant shore We won't hesitate To break down the garden gate There's not much time left today Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long Through all these cities and all these towns It's in my blood, and it's all around I love you now like I loved you then This is the road, and these are the hands From Mozambique to those Memphis nights The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights Knock me down and back up again You're in my blood; I'm not a lonely man There's no load I can't hold A road so rough this I know I'll be there when the light comes in Tell 'em we're survivors Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long There was a distance between you and I A misunderstanding once But now we look in the eye There ain't no load that I can't hold A road so rough this I know I'll be there when the light comes in Tell 'em we're survivors Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long
