My heroes have always been highways and that's why I'm gone all the time
Route 60 ran by my house as a kid and Lord how I loved the white lines
I know there's a warm place beside you and the kids ask about me sometimes
But my heroes have always been highways I got a lowdown highway in mind
Well I missed all the PTA meetin's I guess I'm not a PTA man
I've got a black coffee outlook and I dream with a wheel in my hand
Thought I wish there was a way I could change in anything that I do or I did
But my heroes have always been highways and they have been since I was a kid
[ ac.guitar ]
And I love you the way that I love you not the way that another man would
I know that I live by a roadmap but all I wanna be great and I wanna be good
I guess I'm a port low on something that makes for a home loving kind
But my heroes have always been highways I got a lowdown highway in mind
My heroes have always been highways I got a lowdown highway in mind
