So long, big city; it's time to say goodbye
I'm longing for those country roads;
I need to see the sky
Think I'll take a swing down south, visit Tennessee
See if that girl Annie still remembers me
Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town
Stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound
I don't wanna take the interstate; it represents all the things I hate
I'm rollin' down that blue highway
So long, confusion; it's time to slow things down
Say goodbye to my old friends, ease on out of town
I made me some money here but paid for ev'ry day
And ev'ry mile just makes me smile, 'cause I made my getaway
Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry town
I've stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound
I've had it up to here with worry
From now on, I'm in no hurry, rollin' down that blue highway
I'll be ridin' that blue highway and leave this sorry town
I've stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm bound
I've had it up to here with worry
From now on, I'm in no hurry, rollin' down that blue highway
I'll be rollin' down that blue highway
You can find me on that blue highway
