Highway 70 Blues

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Kansas City's gonna have to wait Looks like I'll be late Wanna get goin' But things ain't flowin' Down this Interstate [Verse 2] Got a farmer with a trailer full of hay And he won't get outta the way Behind him I'm stuck Beside this truck That's trapped behind a Chevrolet [Chorus] I got the Highway 70 blues I got the brake pedal gas pedal under my shoes Herkin' and jerkin' This feels like workin' Will I ever get to use my cruise? [Verse 3] Here come a cop doin' seventy-three Tryin' to work his way 'round me He ain't never gonna win Without crashin' in- To that Nissan SUV [Verse 4] Every big rig bus and Kia Everybody's got their own idea Of what's fast or slow So you never know What lane's gonna stop, what lane's gonna go [Chorus] I got the Highway 70 blues I got the brake pedal gas pedal under my shoes Herkin' and jerkin' This feels like workin' Will I ever get to use my cruise? [Bridge] Got twenty up ahead, twenty behind Doin' forty different speeds at the same damn time [Verse 5] I've driven all across this land And I've come to understand That if you're in a hurry To cross Missouri Things might not go as planned [Chorus] I got the Highway 70 blues I got the brake pedal gas pedal under my shoes Herkin' and jerkin' This feels like workin' Will I ever get to use my cruise? Said, Will I ever get to use my cruise? Hey, Will I ever get to use my cruise?
