Working On The Highway Ringtones

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

"Good morning! What we have in mind is breakfast in bed for four hundred thousand!" Tie dye on the highway, see the garlands in your hair If you're going my way, come along What a beautiful sky, we just had to stop and stare See the beautiful colors fill the air Oh, just the messengers of peace... Oh, do you remember across the burning years Sweet smell of the mystery I recall Hang me on Miguel, a smile through all my fears O high Olympus touched our soul With the messengers of peace and the company of love All the passion and release and love from up above Ah, say you will come back with me Say you will come back "We must be in Heaven, man!" Oh yeah, now come on! Tie dye on the highway, the wheels still turn around Dance to the mariachi, take my hand Hope springs eternal when laughter's feeling sound Move in the mystic wasted land With the messenger of peace and the company of love All the passion and release, and love from up above (You know that it is true) From the desert in my art, where the innocent may love All the passions they release and the love from up above Ah, say you will come back with me Say you will come back Ah, say you will come back with me Say you will come back "Three days! Three days! We just love you. We just love you."

Standing on the moon I got no cobweb on my shoe Standing on the moon I'm feeling so alone and blue I see the Gulf of Mexico As tiny as a tear The coast of California Must be somewhere over here, over here Standing on the moon I see the battle rage below Standing on the moon I see the soldiers come and go There's a metal flag beside me Someone planted long ago Old Glory standing stiffly Crimson, white and indigo Old Glory standing stiffly Crimson, white and indigo Indigo I see all of Southeast Asia I can see El Salvador I hear the cries of children And the other songs of war It's like a mighty melody That rings down from the sky Standing here upon the moon I watch it all roll by, all roll by All roll by, all roll by Standing on the moon I see a shadow on the sun Standing on the moon The stars go fading one by one I hear a cry of victory And another of defeat A scrap of age-old lullaby Down some forgotten street Standing on the moon Where talk is cheap and vision true Standing on the moon But I would rather be with you Somewhere in San Francisco On a back porch in July Just looking up at heaven At this crescent in the sky, in the sky Standing on the moon With nothing left to do A lovely view of heaven But I'd rather be with you, be with you I rather be with you I rather be with you I rather be with you

When I got lost on the highway It is crazy, I thought about you Leaving the town where I met you Walked through your street Stared at your door Driving home With the sun in my face and all delighted Took a turn It feels like winning a race Doubtful about where I'm going Where is the road taking me back No number assigned to this junction Where is the lane leading to you Driving home With the sun in my face and all delighted Took a turn It feels like winning a race Without a sound I am singing Counting the lights travelling to you Next time you join on the free way That's when you'll show how to ride on Driving home With the sun in my face and all delighted Took a turn It feels like winning a race Ay-ee-yow, ay-ee-yow, ay-ee-yay-hay-yow Ay-ee-yow, ay-ee-yow, ay-ee-yay-hay-yow Ay-ee-yow, ay-ee-yow, ay-ee-yay-hay-yow Coming home baby now Ay-ee-yow, ay-ee-yow, ay-ee-yay-hay-yow

Who did you say it was brother? Who was it fell by the way? When whiskey and blood ran together Did you hear anyone pray? I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother I didn't hear nobody pray I heard the crash on the highway But I didn't hear nobody pray When I heard the crash on the highway I knew what it was from the start I went to the scene of destruction And a picture was stamped on my heart The whiskey and blood ran together Mixed with the glass where they lay Death played her hand in destruction But I didn't hear nobody pray I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother I didn't hear nobody pray I heard the crash on the highway But I didn't hear nobody pray I wish I could change this sad story That I am now telling you But there is no way I can change it For somebody's life is now through Their soul has been called by the Master They died in a crash on the way I heard the groans of the dying But I didn't hear nobody pray I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother I didn't hear nobody pray I heard the crash on the highway But I didn't hear nobody pray

I've been sitting here wondering if I'll ever get Back to those wheels, will I ever be Changing those strings out before nine I am wishing for the life that I used to live Giving everything that I had to give In a brand new city 'bout every night Missing those nights, missing that sky, I been missing home Missing their smiles, missing those miles, I been missing home Out there on the highway, out there on the open road Ooh baby will you roll with me, roll with me Head down to New Orleans I should be wearing out the blacktop Out there with the boys I love Everybody will you roll with me, roll with me Running down this dream And get me out there on the highway I've been sitting here asking him every night For a brand new song and a piece of mind The road is all I think about these days All I need is out there, I will be just fine With a 6 string guitar and a jug of wine When the lights go down around that stage Missing those nights, missing that sky, I been missing home Yeah, I been missing home Out there on the highway, out there on the open road Ooh baby will you roll with me, roll with me Head down to New Orleans I should be wearing out the blacktop Out there with the boys I love Everybody will you roll with me, roll with me Running down this dream I miss the sound of rubber rolling out my window And that crescendo the highway brings Oh, these wheels are gonna keep me spinning all my days Out here on the highway Roll with me, roll with me Yeah honey will you roll with me, roll with me Out there on the highway

The eye of your mind can find That everything is divine. Take comfort in the absent control, Life lives randomly. Tonight may be dark but theres stars And tomorrows a bright new day. Now your past future self Lives life infinitely. Even if the gods are as cruel as you say Don't lead your flock astray. Peace be with you and back to me. Love is the one true key. Ooo ahh The eye of your mind can find That everything is divine. Take comfort in the absent control, Life lives randomly. The universe is you and it is me. Consciousness breeding. Encompass everything and let it be. Don't change what you cant see. Ooo ahhh

You confuse me, I can't tell if You're trying to use me. You say that we're friends, But i can't tell if This is just a dead end. I don't wanna leave, But when I'm with you, Its hard to breathe. Others say you're a slut, But when I'm with you, You're anything but. Ohh, yeah, I can't find my way Ohh, yeah, Can't make this problem go away now Ohhh, yeah, Let's fly away Ohh, yeah, I know I want to stay I confuse myself, Maybe it's cause I ain't got no one else. Oh how I try, But nobody wants to Be mine. I got two heads fighting, And they can't decide What's to their liking. You fit like a glove, Maybe that's what they call Platonic love. Ohh, yeah, I can't find my way Ohh, yeah, Can't make this problem go away now Ohhh, yeah, I can't find my way Ohh, yeah, I think I want to stay Maybe this is right, I don't want to Just fuck and fight. Maybe I'm just a fool, But why can't you use me Like those other tools. Maybe I'm just lonely, Fuck if that don't, Make me horny I'm not in love with you, I just love your attitude. Ohh yeah, I can't find my way Ohhh yeah, Can't make this problem go away now Ohhh, yeah, Maybe just fly away, Little dove Ohh, yeah, Don't know if I can handle this Platonic love

You can be me and I can be you Do all the things we never knew I would be you and you would be me Live out our lives in fantasy We could live our lives forever in disguise And I'll take over yours as you take over mine. We could live our lives forever in disguise And I'll take over yours as you take over mine. You can be me and I can be you Do all the things we never knew I would be you and you would be me Exchange of souls, forever to be. We could live our lives forever in disguise And I'll take over yours as you take over mine. We could live our lives forever in disguise And I'll take over yours as you take over mine. Your soul is bright and mine is dim A transfer of lights, deep within I would be you and you would be me To be someone else is to be free We could live our lives forever in disguise And I'll take over yours as you take over mine. We could live our lives forever in disguise And I'll take over yours as you take over mine.

On my highway, the yellow lines Have disappeared from time to time And I've wound up on the wrong side of the road On my highway, I've gone too fast Afraid that I might finish last I hooked a curve too hard and lost control Oh, I never know which way it's gonna go But what a feeling chasing the sun Living my life like it's shot from a gun Laughing a little bit more with every mile Oh, what a freedom racing the wind Dying to know what's around the next bend And smiling as I watch the years roll by I'm learning how to take it day by day, on my highway On my highway, I missed some signs And left a damn good love behind I see her in my rearview like a ghost On my highway, I've broken down And cried when no one else was around And prayed that God would save my soul Yeah, I've paid a lot of heavy tolls But what a feeling chasing the sun Living my life like it's shot from a gun Laughing a little bit more with every mile Oh, what a freedom racing the wind Dying to know what's around the next bend And smiling as I watch the years roll by I'm learning how to take it day by day, on my highway Yeah, yeah What a feeling out on the run Drinking up the rain, soaking up the sun Laughing a little bit more with every mile Oh, what a freedom like a sail in the wind Not looking back, not forgetting where I've been Smiling as I watch the years roll by And I'm moving on from my mistakes And I'm learning how to take it day by day On my highway Oh, yeah

Well, I was born on a Sunday On Thursday, I had me a job I was born on a Sunday By Thursday, I was workin' out on a job I ain't never had no day off Since I learned right from wrong Said I was bad I did somethin' to her head Mama said I was bad I did something to her head And papa threw me out Oh, said I gotta earn my own way I ain't never been in trouble I ain't got the time I don't mess around with magic, child What I got is mine Whatever you say, Lord Well, that's what I'm gonna do Whatever you say Well, that's what I'm gonna do And I'm the workin' man Lord, I'll do the job for you I ain't never been in trouble I ain't got the time I don't mess around with magic, child What I got is mine Every Friday Well, that's when I'll get paid But don't take me on Friday, Lord 'Cause that's when I'll get paid Let me die on Saturday night Oh, before Sunday gets my head

You will never be the one, but you will be yet another one. Its true that I may have told you things, Like that I'll love you indefinitely But I only tell lies to get inside you and plant these dreams. Then I will let them bloom and consume you beneath the seams. You will be left there all alone, Whilst I go planting dreams. Then you'll learn what you should have known, I never loved you or so it seems... Because I will still try to tempt you with happy things. But the tears of the night will beg you to let it be... I will hurt you And tell you anything to be the one who Can be your everything. I will hurt you And tell you anything to be the one who Can be your everything.

I drove in on the four lane Where the two lane used to be The highway hummed a near forgotten tune From 1963 The year I turned 18 and set my sights And heard the highway call Now the highway's come full circle To a place I scarce recall There's a girl I still remember Whose name I can't recall I gave her what I had, but then She tried to take it all I stayed long enough to love her And then left her on the run Like a flower left to wither In that deep East Texas sun There's a place out on the highway Where I go to spend my time Where the bartenders all know me And the players are friends of mine And we light up on the brakes And talk of things that we all know But I've heard it all before And I'll hear it all again And I've heard it said The highway never ends So what about old handsome Johnny And the class of '64? Did the women all make promises When they shipped him off to war? Did his mama get the medal And did his country ever win? Well, let's drink a round to Johnny 'Cuz he died for all our sins. They're still down there in the factories You can see 'em in the mills They've sweated there for years, Lord I guess they always will. And you know they won't be leaving And I can't watch 'em die that way So in my rear view mirror I'll just watch them slip away There's a place out on the highway Where I go to spend my time Where the bartenders all know me And the players are friends of mine And we light up on the brakes And talk of things that we all know But I've heard it all before And I'll hear it all again And I've heard it said The highway never ends The highway never ends The highway never ends

Gone with the wind Gone by your finger tips Your sandpaper skin Underneath a waterfall And when you whisper smooth All I want is you All I need is Sunday nights All I need is you Isn't it so funny How beautiful you are When you're walking out the door When you're walking out the door Isn't it so funny How beautiful you are When you're walking out the door When you're walking out the door Alabaster lips Driving down the Highway 6 Basking in the sun And giving it to anyone And every single day I just need to say Isn't it so funny How beautiful you are When you're walking out the door When you're walking out the door A change is gonna come Oh Oh Isn't it so funny How beautiful you are When you're walking out the door When you're walking out the door And isn't it so funny How beautiful you are When you're walking out the door When you're walking out the door When you're walking out the (door) When you're walking out the (door) When you're walking out the (door) When you're walking out the (door)

I got the key to the highway, Billed out and bound to go. I'm gonna leave here running; Walking is most too slow. When the moon peeks over the mountains I'll be on my way. I'm gonna roam this old highway Until the break of day. Oh give me one, one more kiss mama Just before I go I'm gonna leave here running; Walking is most too slow. So long, so long baby You know I must say good bye I'm gonna roam this old highway Until the day I'll die.

Take the highway Lord knows I've been gone too long Lot of sad days, yeah One day you'll turn around And I'll be gone And the time'll finally come For me to pack my bags and walk away Hear me say I'll be back someday But darlin' please don't Wait for me too long There's just one place I can't stay Memories of your love still lingers on And the time has finally come For me to pack my bags and walk away Hear me say I'll be back someday But darlin' please don't Wait for me too long There's just one place I can't stay Memories of your love still linger on And the time has finally come For me to pack my bags and walk away Hear me say Take the highway Take the highway Take the highway Take the highway, oh yeah And the time has finally come For me to pack my bags and walk away Hear me say

I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost For a life of sin, I have paid the cost When I pass by, all the people say Just another guy on the lost highway Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine And a woman's lies makes a life like mine Oh the day we met, I went astray I started rolling down that lost highway I was just a lad, nearly 22 Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you And now I'm lost, too late to pray Lord, I take a cost, on the lost highway Now boys don't start to ramblin' round On this road of sin, are you sorrow-bound? Take my advice or you'll curse the day You started rollin' down that lost highway

Born as a rider Left it all behind ya Invisible freedom An illusion The road it took my life away Took the light from the day So queen of the highway When are you coming to save me This world of freedom Invisible illusion Oooh just how they use them In this world of perfection Oooh this world of freedom Invisible illusion Just how they use them In this world world of perfection So queen of the highway When are you coming to save me So queen of the highway When are you coming to save me To save me To save me To save me Born as a rider Left it all behind ya Invisible freedom An illusion So queen of the highway When are you coming to save me The road it took my life away Took the light from the day I was a rolling stone for so long Couldn't find my way home I was lost in a track or two Between time and you So queen of the highway When are you coming my way One day... one day

Well, I did everything I could, but I guess I'm quittin I got tired of singing the same old same old song That's the last damn chord and the last damn line I'm spittin And the last damn tune about a woman that done me wrong And, I'm sick of spending this money that I ain't makin On tires without any tread and gasoline That brought me here on the highway less taken Where the ends don't seem to justify the means And I guess it never made much sense on paper Every quarter you make is gone before it sees a dime And if it was God's intention to make me better I'd have some more to give than words that rhyme I've heard said to do it because you love it And you know full well it'll work out in the end But that water is cold and I can't get my head above it Don't make much sense to get out and do it again Lord, but I never spent much time counting money I been spending all my time between the lines The dues are paid if the bills are not, And the tunes I play are all I've got I'll die rich with these penniless words of mine And I guess it never made much sense on paper Every quarter you make is gone before it sees a dime And if it was God's intention to make me better I'd have some more to give than words that rhyme If it was God's intention to make me better I'd have some more to give than words that rhyme

Hey pretty baby I see yah coming back my way, Do you remember me? I saw you through a window That was clear as day, Memories of dreams. The pain I saw in your eyes Made me want to say, Do you remember me? A smile so bright it burned All my fears away, Memories of dreams. I was alone while you were at home, At night you told me you cried. Over the phone theres someone to hold, Dont force me to look in your eyes. You were so high when I was so low, infatuating is blind. A loss of control, The black golden rose, You forced me to look in your eyes.
