Steve Earle — This Highways Mine Roadmaster

Here we go [Verse] I'm running down this highway Don't remember where I slept last night I just remember halfway through the night I woke up stiff with fright I dreamed there was no asphalt I dreamed there was no gasoline Felt like a rat caught in some nowhere town I woke up and screamed [Chorus] This highway This highway This highway This highway This highway This highway's mine [Verse] I grew up on the drag strip I used to shut 'em down I used to take their pink slips There's a sucker born in every town I never showed no mercy I blew them all away They stood there and cursed me As I towed their lives away [Chorus] This highway This highway This highway This highway This highway This highway's mine [Verse] I used to run the cocaine I used to run the weed These days I'm just running Trying to make this highway bleed Sometimes the only difference Between me and this machine Is I run on desperation She runs on gasoline [Chorus] This highway This highway This highway This highway This highway This highway This highway This highway This highway This highway This highway This highway's mine [Outro] I'm the Road Master The Asphalt Blaster Mess with me and I'll shut you down The bad thing, the highway king And I've come to claim my kingdom now
