So long, big city; it's time to say goodbyeI'm longing for those country roads;I need to see the skyThink I'll take a swing down south, visit TennesseeSee if that girl Annie still remembers me
Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry townStayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm boundI don't wanna take the interstate; it represents all the things I hateI'm rollin' down that blue highway
So long, confusion; it's time to slow things downSay goodbye to my old friends, ease on out of townI made me some money here but paid for ev'ry dayAnd ev'ry mile just makes me smile, 'cause I made my getaway
Gonna take that blue highway and leave this sorry townI've stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm boundI've had it up to here with worryFrom now on, I'm in no hurry, rollin' down that blue highway
I'll be ridin' that blue highway and leave this sorry townI've stayed too long, but now I'm gone, and I know where I'm boundI've had it up to here with worryFrom now on, I'm in no hurry, rollin' down that blue highwayI'll be rollin' down that blue highwayYou can find me on that blue highway
