Highways Byways by The Refreshments (Sweden) Lyrics

All the bright lights in Memphis were shining
As we road into town one rainy night
We stopped for a butt at the blues cafe
While we soon had to be on our way

We had a show down the road in Arkansas
'cause down there they thought i was some kind of star they had us playin all night long
And they danced to every song
Some nights the bossman payed my bar

Chorus:
My whole life's been highways and byways
Broken dreams of designated skyways
Life's been flashing by, one day I'll know I'll die somewhere on highways and byways

I've been up and down these roads since my teens
From Milwaukee down in New Orleans
And all I've got is this guitar in my hand
My seventy four Chevy and my band
If we only had a hit to take us higher
Wish i got a song to set the world on fire
Now we're going round the same old places
Seeing the same old faces
Driving this van with worn out tires
Chorus:
My whole life spring highways and byways
Broken dreams of designated sky wings
Life's been flashing by, one day I'll know I'll buy
Somewhere on highways and byways
Somewhere on highways and byways

Now I'm calling up my daughter just to see
If she wants to come hear the boys and me
'Cause tonight we're playin in our home town
And i'd love it if she liked to come down
But she tells me she just don't dig our sound (outside)
If she hates me for never being around
So tonight just ain't no good time
And she doesn't have a dime
I say you know where I'll be found

Chorus:
