I've seen the old highway       Lyrics
Words & Music by Ray Wylie Hubbard

(Chorus) I've seen the old highway and what its done to the young and kind
I've seen that old highway and what its done to the young and kind
It's made them old and mean way before their time

Its like a prisoner seeing a wild bird in the air
Its like a prisoner seeing a wild bird in the air
It's like an old Preacher hearing a new widows prayer

(Chorus) 

Gives gets a lonesome sound like an old ghost a rattliing chains
Gives gets a lonesome sound like an old ghost a rattliing chains
Gives a sorrowful sigh like a little church in the rain

I've seen a mothers tears heal a heart somehow
I've seen a mothers tears heal a heart somehow
Your on that highway; your momma can't help you now

(Chorus)
